Texas Travel Is Getting An Upgrade
Texas Central has a dream of cutting down drive times for travelers all across Texas! This means that your typical four or five hour drive can become as short as one and a half hours!
No more sitting in traffic trying to visit your favorite city. Day trips to Houston may be in your future, so get ready. Travel is going to be so much more enjoyable once this dream is a reality – and it could start as early as 2021!
What Cities Will The Texas High Speed Train Serve?
The train will have stops in Houston, Dallas, and the Brazos Valley. This will connect three major areas throughout Texas and cut down on time spent commuting for travelers!
This is a dream for Texans who want to grab dinner in one of the other main cities or just want to spend a weekend in Houston without driving for half a day!
The Texas High Speed Train will also allow you to really take in all the beautiful landscapes that Texas has to offer in the comfort of a spacious seat!
