Interesting.
Trains are for fags, we’re a plane nation
To be fair, Americans are like Spaniards when it comes to competence. There would be train accidents every week there if they had as many trains running as Europeans.
>>220235656The USA is definitely superior though.
>>220235656All that rail and the trains are still late.
>>220235656Seems like the USA's rail system is perfect, there are train routes to all the places you would actually want to go and no extraneous ones. Surely most of those routes in Europe are unnecessary.
>>220235656We have connector busses that take you to the trains.
>>220240355Lmao get fucked South Dakota
>>220242741They opted out. Literally all they need to do is have a congressmen or senator ask for it and a bus line will be allocated to them.
>>220235656Now show the cargo rail network
>>220242842no, car go road not rail
>>220235656Bro I'm from Chicago, we got trains all over, even way out in the burbs
>>220242842
>>220235691>TSA shuts down>chronic shortage of air traffic controllers>DEI pilotsWhat now?
>>220242821Based. I now trust the South Dakotians.
I fucking hate trains
>EuroPeons are cattle that need to be transported in cattle cars.
>>220235656there is a lot more rail than that
>>220245681It's only showing passenger rail. There's lots of cargo rail. United States has the largest rail network in the world by country. Russia and china are 2nd or 3rd. It's a big fucking place.
>>220243909some of these trips would probably be faster if you took a train tbqh
>>220243291Our airports and airlines were badly congested and slow already. Despite paying lip service to variety and competition in the marketplace, we don't seem to mind when one industry subsumes everything else and becomes the only game in town.
>>220246002craziest train ride ive heard someone talk about enduring was chicago to colorado
>>220246926what happened?
>>220246002Americans unironically spent $100 billion on a train from LA to San Fransisco and it only runs from Fresno to Bakersfield.
>>220247143You mean the California state government spent $100 billion.
>>220235656Trains are only good for short distances, and that map doesn't show all trains for the US. The northeast is absolutely full of light rail, commuter rail, and subways. Even Florida has monorails and probably light rail too.
>>220235691>have to prepare 2 hours in advance for 30 min flightNigger tier transportation
>>220247143property rights and environmental disputes got in the way from what I understandreminds me how at one point when the french decided they wanted to build nuclear plants and the locals protested they either arrested them all, or secretly stored all the machinery and equipment one town over and then at the dead of night they moved in, threw fences all around and started digging lol
>>220240355>one company manages all the railways for a cunt that's double the size of the EUWhat causes this?
Germans b liek>Why don't you take a train from Chicago to SF? We ride trains in Germany
>>220249385I would definitively take the train from Chicago to SF THOUGH. I took the transsibirian train around 10 years ago before Putin went apeshit.
>>220240355>Just a city boy>Born and raised in South Detroit>He took the midnight train going anywhere>it goes one-way
>>220249355Nixon bundled all the passenger rail together into one federal run service to preserve a national passenger rail system.>>220249385>>220249422It doesn't go to San Francisco. It goes from Chicago to Emeryville. From there you can take the Capital Corridor, a local train, to the station at Richmond then transfer over to BART, Bay Area Rapid Transit, which goes to San Francisco. Or you can take a local bus from Emeryville to downtown Oakland and take BART from there to San Francisco.
>>220249492anything to leave Detroit
