There is no excuse for the U.S. not to have high speed rail between every major city in the country. We should also have a maglev line running from Boston to Miami.
I can think of one
>>542201571I think Japan has been stuck testing their maglev.
>>542201618Criminal niggers would not be taking fucking maglev lmao
>>542201625It's not because of the train itself, it's because the entire line goes through mountain tunnels and they can't get land from one prefecture. Luckily the entire East Coast is flat.
Do you really want your city to be easily and affordably accessible from DC, Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, St Louis, etc? It might be kind of nice that people who can't afford vehicles or airports feel disinclined to visit you for anything but the highest of reward scenarios.
>>542201571I'm just not going to ride a train
>>542201639Do magnets repel criminals on your planet?
>>542201831There are niggers in every city at this point, man. Also amtrak and commuter rails are already perfectly clean and safe, it's the subways and buses that suck.
>>542201883Why not?>it's longer than flyingNot if the train is fast enough. The Chuo Shinkansen is going to be faster than flying
>>542201571what's the rush? I've not been on a train in 65 years. I'd go take a look first at the train station; if there's a lot of niggers, spics, mudslims and jeets, fuck trains.
>>542201571Niggers would fuck it up and make the investment worthless
>>542202364Best to stick your head in the sand and hope it gets better somehow without doing anything.
so most of the excuses ITT so far amount to cowardice...makes sense
florida man here. fuck off we are full.
>>542201949There will never be liquid nitrogen cooled tracks going everywhere. And I don't want to sleep on a train
We have Niggers, this kills all public transit
>>542201571Theres no excuse for america to have browns on our soil. Yet here we are.
>>542201571>Maglev from Boston to MiamiWhat are you a fucking tranny? Why would you not build a maglev from Boston to Los Angeles or San Francisco?
>>542202613Literally no reason to take that over a flight
>>542201571I don’t want to make it easier for California niggers to come to my city. Unless of course they priced it high to keep out the undesirables but that’s not likely.
>>542202514>I don't want to sleep on a trainThat's why you build high speed rail, so you don't need to sleep
>>542201571if we gave less free healthcare to illegals we would have this
>>542202776>i̶l̶l̶e̶g̶a̶l̶s̶*niggers and spics
>>542201571Jets travel at 550+ mph, so they make more sense for longer distances. That instantly removes most of this map.However, it would still make a lot of sense for medium distance travel. E.g. you could travel from Seattle to Portland in 50 minutes, compared to 2.75 hours by car. The problem is that Boomer NIMBYs didn't bother to build them and now own all of the land and control tax spending.
>>542202712So you're saying the plan for them to use brownoids to make you want less is working?
>>542202813The thing is that you can connect most of the country through links that are medium distance. And with maglev that "medium distance" will become more like 1000 miles than 200.
>>542201571Regular rail is already too expensive.Amtrak from NYC to LA is $609 and that is a 67hour journey. Double that price for high speed rail. No way in hell it would be under $1000 each way, if they ever want to recoup the $2.7 trillion it would cost (and thats just for the one track, not the whole network of high speed rail). A flight from NYC to LA can be had for as low as $200 and just under 6 hours.
>>542202659>maglev is a nothingburger oh
>>542202894Why would you take a train from NYC to LA lmao. Trains are for the NYC to DC, DC to Charlotte, Charlotte to Atlanta, etc type of trips.
>>542202916For travelling 3000 miles, yes. Yes it is. You might as well say that subways are useless because it's better to take high speed rail between cities.
>>542202977Its a 4 hour drive from NYC to DC, and 3.5 hours by Amtrak (average rail price for that trip: $160).Again, why rail? Make it high speed and therefore $300? And when you arrive you take ubers.Under 6 hours: driveOver 6 hours: flyits that easy. Rail loses every time.
>the government should be allowed to eminent domain randos in kansas out of their farmland so they can seize the land for a train line that will never be finished because it'll stop right outside of sacramento as california takes 20 years to deliberate how to build it while costs balloon from 100 billion to 500 billion for the rail systemdefinitely bro
>>542203077Amtrak is pathetically bad. Say we had a maglev or even just high speed rail (not fucking Acela lmao) from NYC to DC. It'd be less than 2 hours, and maybe 70 bucks if it were reasonably priced.
>>542203077You have an implicit assumption that driving is free.The drive from NY to DC is 226 miles. Using the IRS mileage rate of $0.76/mile, that drive costs $171.76 for a one way trip. Actual cost may be higher or lower depending on gas prices and vehicle value.
>>542201571The USA is too corrupt nowadays to execute something like that. Ninety percent of the funds would just go into some jew's pocket, and only one mile of functional rail would actually be constructed... if that.
Too many niggers and city leftoids
>>542202712Their upper class is undesirables with money.
>>542203632The upper middle class are unironically the highest quality people in the nation.
>>542201571>lets make really expensive transportation infrastructure through the area on Earth with objectively the worst and most damaging weather just so we can more efficiently move niggers and other various subhumans between their respective dilapidated urban centersHow about no.
>>542203771They have high speed rail in Norway and Finland lmao
>>542203300dumbfuck that rate doesn't actually mean it's $0.76/mile. Using the highest gas price ($5.78/gallon in CA) and some shitty highway milage (20mpg) gives $0.29 per mile in gas. $0.76/mile is the IRS's business mileage rate. Their "medical and moving purposes" mileage rate is $0.20/mile. It doesn't actually cost you three times as much to use your car for business as it does for medical reasons
>>542201900Americans are just too scared and paranoid due to everyone having a gun. I've heard Americans coming to Europe, and feeling a massive sense of relief, because nobody is going to point guns at them ever.
>>542203814You must be brown, because that didn't contradict a single point of my rhetorical thesis.
>>542201571This would require California to actually build a railway, so it's basically impossible.
>>542201571capitalism won't survive the 21st centuryit has become completely inefficient
>>542203814because norway and finland are famous for their large negro population right?
>>542203888>the ability to own things will not survive>soon you will own nothing and be happyWhatever you say, schlomo
>>542203888You know the government is the one that builds rail, right?
>>542201571it's too late nowchina has already mogged you
>>542201571how ghetto would the atlanta and st. louis stations be?
>>542201618That happened in a car, so by your reasoning niggers are an excuse to not have roads or highways.Maybe you should get rid of the niggers.
>>542203827Your post is so insanely retarded I'm not sure if bait.First, I clearly stated the actual cost may vary. Second, the business mileage rate is not only gas, it includes maintenance, depreciation, and insurance as well. The medical and moving rates (second is military only retard) specifically excludes these because of IRS jewry.Yeah, if you just ignore that you need to purchase and maintain the vehicle, it is suddenly much cheaper to drive.
>>542201571Trains are for faggots. Take a plane like a man.
>>542205617If you've ever been on a train and been on a plane you'd definitely want the train
