What I do not understand is why US is so far behind in railway/ train mass transit system. People will spend 1 hour to commute 15-20 miles where they can instead take train to get there in 10-15 minutes. The politicians are still more worried to make it cheaper to travel by road than worrying about other alternatives.
US only knows about roads and airplanes. And both the systems are in a mess. People have accepted to go through TSA torture / flight delays / cancellations as way of life.
Other parts of world has high speed trains which go over 200 mph. Why not have high-speed trains like TGV, Thalys, MAGLEV? Will also solve travel between big cities and ease-up airports mess is US.
Travel from New York City to Cleveland, Ohio(distance of 360 miles) takes almost 12 hours by Amtrak (average speed 30mph).
TGV trains in Europe will do that distance is less than 2 hours.
