Should more American transit systems buy Chinese rolling stock?
Unless they come with a killswitch like the F35 I don't really care, do U?

>>2071791doesnt chyna actually use a different gauge than north america for compatibility with russian rails or something
>>2071812>-Countersteering threadMY THREAD IS AT THE TOP WOOOOO I WIN
>>2071893They use an identical rail gauge to North America. I mean why wouldn't they? Americans literally helped fund and build their first railroads
>>2071901bordering a country they at one time had a bunch of trade with consisting mostly of bulky goods and raw materials
The last thing we should be doing is giving even more contracts to China, lets order from Japan and just change the gauges
>>2071812The core philosophy of /n/ is "There exists people who don't desire the same things I desire. This should not be allowed."
>>2071910>lets order from JapanFuck Kawasaki, that is all.
no, its mtbf is a third of what it should be and half as much as claimed
>>2071791How did California's HSR went from $30 billion to $230 billon? And how did it delay the project from 1990s planning to now may not even finish this century?Did Elon Musk buy out the unions and the Californian politicians to delay the project and increase the cost?
>>2071969>How did California's HSR went from $30 billion to $230 billon?>"stupid train autists lol let's just keep getting funding and taking out cuts from the budget and keep asking for more money lmao!!! infinite high speed money train!!!!"
>>2071969What I want to know is how ANYONE ever thought it was going to be $30 billion, that's like the price of a light rail loop that connects the sportsball arena to downtown and the airport.
>>2071791It isn't going to happen at this point because le trump administration, but it would've been cool though.. Chicago cta and Boston mbta are gonna be the only systems with Chinese models we get probably...
>>2071904Trains entering and leaving Russia have their trucks manually resized to changed gauge. It's terribly inefficient but better than transferring cargo to a different train. >>2072024One of the dumbest things cities did was make themselves dependent on the federal government for transportation gibs. It ends up coming with all kinds of requirements that drive up costs and make it take forever.
More kawaii Japanese trains please
>>2074213That's tacky even for Japanese standards
