    Air travel is worse than trains, better than driving. Knowing America, people would only end up driving more. I personally don’t think that’s a good thing

      People fly because it’s the fastest means of travel. The fastest trains will never be as fast as flying but people are also never going to be able to drive as fast as high speed rail.

          Won’t happen until there’s demand which won’t exist so long as flying is so accessible.

            Even once there is demand, it’ll be an uphill fight against an entrenched opponent profiting from inefficient transportation, but I’m optimistic that eventually it’ll happen.
