California Explores 140 MPH Buses Between San Francisco and Los Angeles The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is considering a plan to introduce high speed buses that could travel up to 140 mph on the state's freeways.
This proposal aims to alleviate traffic congestion and offer an affordable alternative to driving or flying, but it raises crucial questions about its feasibility. Existing Infrastructure Proves a Challenge Most U. S.
freeways are engineered for speeds of up to 85 mph, which would require extensive upgrades to infrastructure and roadway design to accommodate significantly faster bus service.
