Topic	California high speed rail project needs $100 billion to complete it
uwnim 03/13/24 6:24:28 AM #32:	Zwijn posted... Could someone explain to me why many people say rail is not a fitting type of transport for the US? Is it because it is a union of states with their own regulations? Thats a thing in Europe as well and rail is one of our main forms of public transport. The US has a lot of non-urbanized areas but even then there is a lot of urban area as well and rail doesnt seem to be liked that much there either. Car centric infrastructure makes it hard to pull off rail. Train stations are more likely to be surrounded by parking instead of by businesses and housing, which decreases the value of the train. --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn.
