Big article in today’s Los Angeles Times. Ralph Vartabedian, Bullet Train Costs Rise Again, March 5, 2018, at p. B1. “New business plan will show the project taking more money and time.” Surprise, surprise.
Estimates of those increases in costs are not provided but we are told that they’re a’comin later this year. We can’t wait. Otherwise, though we have read this article a couple of times, we can’t actually say what it says, except that the new manager of the bullet rain project allows as how those cost increases “are likely to cause a furor.” Also, he says that this project “is the most transformative [he] ha[s] ever seen.” Whatever that means.
