    It’s difficult to build a high speed railway without making it go through some green space, so environmentalists won’t always be happy :P

      I guess because they like Japan, and Japan has a really good rail network.

      Reasonably sure most of those are politically on the side of railways.

    Cocain addicts made me chuckle. What what does “bottom” mean?

    Seattle got a light rail and it’s great.

      It is. I do wonder if a good portion of the sound transit board is secretly opposed to public transit. Why is the light rail not a flat fair? Why is the monthly pass such a train wreck? Honestly the whole system should be one flat fair?

      Personal antidote. I had a easier time buying a day pass for Paris’ metro (I don’t speak French) than I did buying a day pass in Seattle.

    I’m pretty sure coke addicts don’t want speed in their coke

        I’m pretty sure it’s because a line of coke can also be called a rail.

    Metro rail has its place, particularly in large metropolitan areas. $20 to go from San Diego to Oceanside with AC outlets yet without I-5 traffic is superb. I’m a fan of the WMATA Metro (DC area) as well.

    For an inter-city high-speed offering, I’m fairly skeptical. We have Amtrak and compared to air travel it costs just as much yet takes several times as long to move me across the country. It would have to be a high-volume route with a proven market for me to support it.

      That’s because American rail transport is fundamentally broken, not because rail in general is broken
