High-speed rail accessibility: a comparative analysis of urban access in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Madrid, and Barcelona

This paper is intended to set the context for policy discussion on HSR feasibility from the perspective of station accessibility. We compare the proposed Los Angeles - San Francisco HSR corridor to the functioning HSR line between Madrid and Barcelona to assess relative station accessibility based o...
