    Either the Americans have very weird ideas about transportation or they’re completely controlled by auto companies. I don’t understand how they think that cars or this stupidloop is better than high speed rail. Traveling by train is far more relaxing, way less infuriating and leaves time for you to do something else meaningful. US is probably the only country that went back on rail transport. Every other country is taking it as far as they possibly can.

      Consider both: we know the auto companies controlled the populace by destroying any choice. We also know that public transit is looked on as a plebes travel mode ripe for gutting at every turn so the rich (and those who are gonna be rich any day now) can benefit.

      I walk an extra half hour so I can take the train instead of the bus for my morning commute. It’s worth it.
