en.Wedoany.com Reported - The California Transportation Agency is studying a plan to operate high-speed buses between San Francisco and Los Angeles, with speeds reaching up to 140 miles per hour, potentially reducing travel time to about three hours.

The key to this concept lies in new dedicated highway lanes, custom stations, and high-speed buses specifically designed for high-speed, long-distance travel. Caltrans warns that safety challenges and costs associated with retrofitting the highway system could be major obstacles.

According to Hoodline, a Caltrans report notes that most U.S. highways are designed for speeds of approximately 75 to 85 miles per hour. Enabling high-speed buses to travel consistently at 100 to 140 miles per hour would require dedicated lanes, changes to road geometry, and significant vehicle redesigns. The report, commissioned by Ryan Snyder and authored by Mehdi Moeinaddini, lists high-speed tires, multiple redundant braking systems, active suspension, advanced aerodynamics, and vehicle-to-vehicle communication as essential requirements for the safe operation of high-speed buses.
