Why do Americans have a hate boner for train travel? Europeans take the train and enjoy the scenic view with some good food and something to drink. Americans would rather exhaust themselves and stress their ass off driving for hours.

North America is simply too large and has too much open space.
And the governments simply do not give a shit enough about passenger train lines to invest in the infrastructure and work needed to build them at this point when this society is so used to driving, and so much money has already been put into roads. Europe has already spent many years building up their train network, and has less open / unused space.
But yeah I'd like to think the reason is also niggers.
>>
Because every government in history embezzles about 50% of the money it uses on infrastructure. So I wonder how much money they've made off of you retarded socialists

All the infrastructure built for cars loses taxpayers tens of billions of dollars annually, retard.

Sunken cost fallacy.
>But yeah I'd like to think the reason is also niggers.
It isn't. White areas also don't have access to reliable public transport. The reason is corporate capture by automobile and petrochemical corporations. The aesthetics of our countries is shit because corporations own you, goy. There are infinity shitskins because corporations decided to feed them and import cheap labor. Every ill of society can be traced back to those who are in power, and those in power do everything they do at the behest of large multinational organizations that seek only to DOMINATE and EXPLOIT you.

Our railroad companies were also bought out and gutted by car manufacturers a century ago, so the capital literally isnt there, nor is the political lobbying capability. The only people seething about not having trains are libtard groups but its a very secondary issue to liberal agendas such as transshit, healthcare, muh illegals, muh refugees, muh gaza, muh student loans, muh gun violence

>Why do Americans have a hate boner for train travel?
They don't, it's just not practical here. There aren't enough people living close to train stations who want to travel somewhere that's also close to a train station.

Correct.

A million Belgians take trains to Brussels for work every day and police cannot get a handle on niggers harassing and assaulting them. Niggers do tiktok challenges on the trains

I rode in a sleeper train with a pack of gyppos once, I didn't care because I was piss drunk and had nothing to steal, mutts are too free for this, only totalitarian countries can have trains and no totalitarian aesthetic is complete without train travel

>Sunken cost fallacy.
That's not the reason, though.
The investment has gone into roads for very good reasons.
Roads are far cheaper and more flexible than rail.
A road can be anything from packed dirt to a freeway with graded entrances.
Roads can be used by virtually anything with wheels or legs. Cars, trucks, busses, pedestrians, bicycles, horse-drawn carriages-- you name it.
Small vehicles can use a road network independently with minimal coordination or scheduling.
Road networks are easy to connect.

Rail is a specialized case that's good for high-volume transport between high-value locations. The rail itself is expensive. The trains are large and expensive. Operating trains is expensive. Routes must be scheduled and coordinated and can only go where there are stations compatible tracks.

So it has to be worth it. For passenger travel means connecting density to density.
>>
>>518568283
It's nece to be able to decide when and where you go without being dependent on a system out of your control.
While on a road trip, if you see something interesting, you can just stop and take a look. If you want to take a break and stretch your legs, you can. It's the freedom and exploratory spirit that makes road tripping fun.

if you go on trains without niggers here they are quite nice. I took my kids on a Christmas themed train through the forest last year and it was very pleasant (no niggers because it was cooler than 20C)

with democrat creatures, everything that would be good and normal somehow becomes consent for the twisted perverted corrupted and degenerated. to the extent that we are conditioned that you could say "free gov blowjobs!" and i'd throw shit at you because i know that ultimately its going to be a lot of paperwork employing 80 shenniquas and a long wait and more paper work and a proctology exam and some blood donation and a semen sample screening before oral interviews with potential providers ect...

like accepting a wish from a genie that is always corrupted. how could it possibly be any different with trains nigger?

Only people who can't afford cars use a train. They have to go by someone else schedule and location

per capacity rail is actually cheaper per distance. two-track standard gauge ranges between half to equal to the price of a 6-line divided highway and still has about double the pphpd. also significantly narrower, which means cost of buying right of way is much cheaper.
your other points are right but i'd contest rail operation costs, the externalities of unlimited car transport are very expensive and aren't usually quantified in cost-comparison analyses against trains
>>
>>518572368
The tilt train isn't half bad really. Take a 4 hour trip to Brissy every year and use the trains and busses to visit family. The 50 cent fares also make going around a godsend because you save so much money in the end and honestly? Fuck driving in Brisbane, actual dogshit drivers.

I love you Europeans. I truly do. But goddam, we can drive all night for 10-12 hours like it's nothing listening to some oldschool podcasts to pass the time.

Exhausted human biology isn't quite the word to describe our continental expansion. We drive the Ukr-Rus front every day. Ukraine is the size of our Texas and we ship Bucee'ees fudge along those front lines every day.

>Duur all highway is 6gorrillion auzhwitz wide but train is only ever 2 tracks so I count cost correct.
Fucking man-child that can't drive.

Highways fan out into smaller roads and in remote enough stretches only need 1 lane per side. If it's far enough out you can also flatten dirt and that's a road now.

Try going anywhere west of Ipswich without one. Even the places that do get trains have shit coverage. Land cruiser will do better for you out there than a gay ticket.

i'm not sure that's true overall, dealerships and car companies make fat cash but if a rail operator is allowed to own property around stations it can make a fucking boatload, ebitda of gm vs jr east is about 4x but jr east is regional and gm is global
are you talking about generation of jobs like mechanics and tire shops and road maintenance too?
>>
>>518568283
train travel is fine but inconvenient and not anymore coseffective. i use the train often and it's good for distance travel but locally, even in a supported infrastructure like nyc, it's expensive and time consuming.
since it's a public utility you'll never be able to divorce it from politic graft and will always be slightly better than subpar. it's barely better even regionally.

>>518568283
because people shit, piss, masturbate and fuck each other on the seats, beds and restrooms. only a nigger/pajeet would use a train. it's also full of niggers and single moms with nigger poop nuggets screaming and stealing. also fuck niggers

The problem is Germany. Entirely the german train system. The continent would be so good if they would unfuck their train system and make it work as scheduled.
Hands down the worst trains. WORSE THAN ROMANIAN TRAINS

This. We used to look forward to both train and airplane travel. Both have been ruined because the companies tolerate incredibly poor behavior from passengers. I think if you act out on an aircraft and cause an incident, you should be banned from flying for a long period. Ten years. Second outburst is a life ban.

Same with trains, buses, other publically-accessible transportation. Enforce minimum behavior standards, make NO exceptions for supposed mental health issues.
