I love trains but ,No need for long distance high speed rail as long as we have cheap air flight . Besides being a longer journey , it will be way more expensive . Many of the negatives or air travel will come to rail if the volume of people increase . The thread on bag size checks at los anglers terminal will be widespread. Let the private sector deal with the capital costs of long distance travel . Not another ideologic driven boondoggle like California high speed rail . If I want to fly to Chicago there are dozens of flights at various times of day . Europe is a much smaller place than the USA . More city focused .Even in Europe , high speed rail is expensive . Air flight is quicker and cheaper between many destinations . Many people also travel large distances by bus . They don’t drive into city centers due to the lack of parking Boeing is developing a new medium range wide body planes that will eliminate much of the negatives of air travel . |
