Current Events > You know what I think needs to be innovated going into the future: Travel

(+) Yeah! (+)

We need faster and cost efficiency methods of commuting. Thats what will allow us to be successful going into the future. I mean either faster high-way lanes for travel without speed limits, or bullet trains, or more frequent and cost efficient local flights. Or any trains / monorails whatever that won't get overcrowded, and many of em that lead from small cities to big cities.

Example: A bullet train going from Gilroy to San Francisco, timed for under 30 minutes, or going from Fresno to San Jose, or Fresno to LA. Or essentially an air-shuttle service with multiple small planes that make frequent trips between these cities, with special pre-approved passes.

The first bullet train in the US is gonna connect Houston to Dallas/Fort Worth. Normally thats a 4.5 hour drive without traffic.

The bullet train is the future, honestly.

I'm still waiting for that fast train going down the east coast that Obama promised before his first term.

Elon musk can still save us.

We should launch people out of big rail guns for maximum efficiency

That would require tax money going towards infrastructure and befitting the common citizen. We can't have that now can we!

Man, it would provide jobs for everyone... The contractors, laborors, the commuters whom this will help get jobs, etc. It would provide so much more spending money into the economy from the consumers pockets too.
