It runs up the existing Caltrain route to King St. and later to the new inconceivably badly conceived bus station they built downtown via a curvy slow tunnel under the streets.

Yeah. Caltrain electrification is desperately needed regardless of HSR and I hope it goes ahead even with this. The current timetable is not frequent enough (I believe they were targeting 6 trains an hour each way with the electrification) and is very slow.

A desperate attempt to save the real estate value of the existing "downtown" from the general move of "downtown" southward to SOMA and Mission Bay.
