I’d imagine this would be cheaper than air travel. Also air travel is annoying and a hassle if you’re just trying to go a few states over. Like DC to Philly or NY. Also if you’re traveling for business it’s probably easier to get work done on a train than a plane.
Why The US Has No High-Speed Rail

- Start date
Thats by design though. Car manufactures, tire manufacturers, parts manufacturers, gas companies, airlines, etc...none of them ever wanted trains and other mass transit systems to proliferate throughout America and have fought for decades to ensure the situation doesnt improve.

I have global entry/pre check so my airport experience isn’t the same.
I avoid flying if Reasonable too. Like going from NYC to dc I’d rather take the train so I can avoid going far away from the city centers.

I have been on a train and there is NOTHING convenient, pleasant and or anything else positive about the experience.

So just looked at a train ride to DC and it's $101 dollars and will take 14 hours. A flight on SW the same day is $176 and will take an hour and a half. Who the fukk is taking Amtrack and why? nikkas who afraid to fly? 
Florida was suppose to have high speed rail from the Obama administration, Rick Scott said 
and 10 years later invested in high speed rail (privatized)

Amtrak is cool for 4 hour rides from NY to DC...that's it
The old old heads be thinking it's the 60s with their multiple hour bus/train rides

This guy makes it seem interesting. 
It has to be...I know a few who take a train/bus faithfully down south...

The problem with a long Amtrak ride is the inevitable delays that turn 8 hours into 10...the scenery is cool, but after awhile, you just wanna get off the damn train

Why are you posting about Amtrak?
China used more concrete from 2011-2013 than the United States did in the entire 1900s century I think. Crazy
