Houston got that dumbass light rail, that ran past 45. Engineers are paid to solved those problems. Thanks to lime and uber the last mile problem has been solved. I-10 expansion hasn’t done anything to alleviate traffic and it only got worse.

A rail system anywhere in the US is feasible the problem is lobbying groups.

And they spent 10 fukkin years on that shyt too

These alabama roads barely in good enough shape for us to roll cars on

I cant imagine trying to bike

Tuscaloosa gonna be even worse with how many people would be crammed together

Plus, you expect us to bike home late at night?

Gonna have to duck deer, wolves, coyotes, bears, cows, and skunks for hours just to get home

Birmingham got so many random big ass hills that nikkas would look like a body builder but the time they got home

It's not that it can't be done but comparing these smaller countries to America is a mistake

Anerican cities are big as fukk

so there shouldn't be any argument against building the same infrastructure within the same distance. why does it have to be all or nothing?

 

[SadimirPutin]

The propaganda has worked cause the excuse brigade got in here fasr as fukk lol

Watch American passenger rail shrivel up and die in this animated map

Back in the 1960s, America had an extensive network of passenger trains. Now service is largely confined to the Northeast Corridor.
