Texas is known for many things. Our beautiful landscapes, cowboys, our booming economy. But most importantly we are known for being big. That is great for the most part, until it comes to traveling. It takes around 3 hours and 40 minutes to get from Houston to Dallas. As most would know, a car ride that long is never appealing. However, the Texas Central Bullet Train could be the answer to making that trip worthwhile. The bullet train travels from one city to the next in approximately 90 minutes. Obviously, the ease of use this train is going to attract businesses from the areas to use it, but the demographic can be so much bigger than that. Two major obstacles that prevent young adults from traveling: time and inconvenience. However, this train solves both of those. Getting an airline ticket and navigating an airport is stressful, and taking the time to drive from North Texas to Houston is tedious. Therefore, it can be pretty difficult for young adults to visit family members, or spend a fun weekend away. It may not even feel worth the effort at times. The short film advertisement we will be creating will have a modern style with a story to tell. We want to reach young adults with the newest travel alternative: The Texas Central Bullet Train- connecting them to their travel plans at the utmost convenience.
