    I know this project as a whole isn’t about Bakersfield, but there will be a station here and the first segment (currently under construction) will go from Bakersfield to Madera.

    Are you looking forward to its completion or do you think it’s a waste of money?

    I’m looking forward to it but think the choice of location for the Bakersfield station is ridiculous. That area is not the first impression I want visitors to have of Bakersfield.
