China debuts 281mph bullet train while the united states still using shyt our ancestors built.

[levitate]

Then why do airplanes exist? Lolol

This supposed to be a profound post?

Clearly it’s not for every case. 36 hour car ride vs 6 hour flight…come on…the choice is clear.

GENERALLY speaking, most long distance travel in US is done by car, as is most short- distance travel. Don’t ask me, just look at the data…

Just because y’all wanna travel in gross mass transport with dudes trying to rob you, folks fukking behind you, cum/blood/shyt on the seat that you’re sitting in, doesn’t mean that most people do.

For this exact list fool

you didnt ask nicely. so no.

 

[RamsayBolton]

elon helped killed any momentum for trains

and now hes president

You could create a DC to Boston line to get riders between those two end points in 2 hours. We just won't do it.

yeah, because you can fly it in an hour and a half

let us know when democrat politicians and their union thugs are willing to work and budget like the chinese, and we can talk about building high speed trains california is at what, 10x the cost overrun when they run their projections? why doesn't california show us the way, and build one?

What exactly did the infrastructure bill accomplish

paved a ton of roads. they literally paved my commute in vegas, which might have been one of the worst roads in america

Roads around me are all fukked up

 

[Leasy]

Just imagine going from Boston NYC Philly DC in 30 in minute intervals or less. This country will have to go through a minor revolution of politics in order to grow. The old guard holding on too long

Yea because people want to be in an airport 1-2 hours early for a hour half flight doo doo brain

and other people don't want to outlay hundreds of billions of dollars, for slower technology than a plane, because you can't wait around for an hour

democrats want these fukkin things, and yet democrat areas can't do construction effectively, because of unions. tell california to do this on time and under cost, or keep whining

 

[The War Report]

More lanes for cars ain't the fukking solution.

 

[Slim]

Archaic infrastructure and transportation is just the price of freedom, breh.


USA! USA! USA!

Tell your slack jawed welfare states to stop taking " democrat cities " tax revenue and that would have been done

 

[Luke Cage]

The country just isn’t willing to pay for this. I don’t like flying, but it gets the job done.

The bigger problem is the poor public transit in our cities.

The main reason i want it isn't to replace flying. If i'm traveling somewhere for a vacation a plane will always be the most efficient method of transport.
But i feel like high speed trains would ideally enable longer and faster work commutes. Traveling at 300 mph mean you could live in Cleveland and work in NYC everyday. Only an 1 hour and a half commute. I've had drives take that much time to go only 30 miles simply because of traffic was so congested.

stop lying and deflecting

As of February 2024, the estimated cost of the California High-Speed Rail (HSR) project is between $89 billion and $128 billion. This cost includes allowances for future inflation. The project's total cost has increased significantly from its original estimate of $33 billion.

take accountability for terribly-run blue areas, or stop bytching a 33 billion to 128 billion cost overrun? are you fukkin serious?
