  How about running an Amtrak train (not bus) from Bakersfield to Barstow to hook up with their proposed high-speed rail running between Los Angeles and Las Vegas? Amtrak could then run from Sacramento to L.A.and/or Las Vegas with increased ridership/profits and minimal farm land and business disturbances.
