Comment on "We Took a 100+ Hour Greyhound From Boston to Seattle"
Chetzemoka@startrek.website 1 year agoThey mean meeting the needs of the US. France is the size of Texas. What works in France doesn’t translate to the US because of our sheer geographic size. China is the only country with high speed rail that compares in geographic size to the US.
But we absolutely could and should have high speed rail corridors that cover the east coast and west coast separately.

Exactly. The USA should have high speed rail, but it isn’t going to be one continuous network. We also shouldn’t set the expectation for transcontinental high speed rail trips as the marker for success because that is going to lead to poor investment in HSR.

Yeah honestly northeast corridor is the way to do it and just explode the investment in the DC to New York space
