Texas is planning to build a $30 billion dollar high-speed railway, connecting Dallas and Houston. Managed by the private company Texas Central, the railway would be 386 kilometers long and would use Japanese N700 Series Shinkansen technology which would reach speeds of up to 320 kilometers per hour, slashing the current three and half hour long commute to only 90 minutes. However, the project has faced a list of challenges, including finances and legal opposition from landowners along the route. In addition, it is feared ridership predictions are overestimated and that Texans will simply not adapt to high speed rail well. Currently, the project is still alive but activity is at a low.
