Pooping on your head :umad:
Does any foreign country have a high speed rail that travels a distance as long as Houston to NYC is? I don't know, I'm genuinely asking.
Houston and NYC are ridiculously far apart, I would assume that not even a HSR train would be able to make the train trip between Texas and NYC in a couple of hours and I would imagine it would require a transfer.
Might cancel my Dallas trip in a couple weeks til the aviation fukkery dies down jesus christ

I think the Airline Industry is about to struggle.
Beijing to Hong Kong. It's about 8 hours via HSR.
At that point you have to wonder if your life is safer in the air by plane or on the ground via train
Gonna blame the mechanical failure on illegals and DEI

Amtrak and Greyhound are about to see a boom in business

In the U.S? I doubt it. Greyhound fell off a cliff and a lot of U.S cities don't have quality Amtrak service.
Look at Cleveland for example, it's served by two Amtrak routes with both of those routes only having one train a day in each direction and ALL of the departures are literally in the wee hours of the morning
I have no statistical proof but I wouldn't be surprised if Amtrak is more popular than flying in the D.C - Boston corridor. In the northeast Amtrak provides frequent service, high speeds for North American standards, etc. But the rest of the country? Amtrak service simply isn't as good as it is in the northeast. Despite these hiccups Airlines have been having recently Flying will still dominate long distance travel in the U.S with an iron fist. For most of the country it's simply the easiest way to get between two points.

I'm not saying people will use more busses or trains, I'm saying people might be afraid to take flights.In the U.S? I doubt it. Greyhound fell off a cliff and a lot of U.S cities don't have quality Amtrak service.
