It's still in the preliminary discussion phase, but it is certainly something worth getting excited about: A new super-high-speed train might soon be able to take you from New York City to Boston in less than 100 minutes.
The budget for the high-speed rail would ideally be secured through President Joe Biden's recently passed $2.3 trillion infrastructure bill, but none of the plans are near development stages just yet. According to Mass Transit Magazine, New England lawmakers just recently "had a call with an urban planner who's pitching" the project, one of the "many conversations happening now among members of the Northeast Congressional delegation about securing high-speed rail for the [...] region."
Before you get all excited, we should mention that, if accepted, the project would take 20 years to come to completion and cost over $100 billion. New Yorkers can dream, though, can't they?
