The California high-speed rail project is reportedly facing possibly billions of dollars in extra cost because of delays and inflation, according to Los Angeles Times.

The high-speed rail was planned to connect 8 of the 10 largest cities in California. Supporters said that upon completion, it would take less than 3 hours for people traveling from San Francisco to Los Angeles at the speed of 220 miles per hour.
