USAians have functioning railways? Before Turamp became president, I wanted to visit and looked up whether there were any trains to the places I wanted to go - it was abysmal. If there was a train, it was once a week or something, slow af and stopped very far from wherever I would’ve wanted to visit.
Their railway system was a joke back then and probably is even worse by now. Last I read about any improvements to it was some highspeed train planned to be built between San Francisco and Los Angeles (or something) and it being delayed by NIMBYs and unwilling governors paid off by the car lobbies. I fully expect it to be (or have been) cancelled.
We were actually in the process of improving it under Biden (funds had been allocated and a corridor or two got better trains). But yeah, there are major cities that get a weekly train that arrives at 2am
It’s a friendly rivalry among many European countries to boast about how shitty their railway companies are.
Americans are not invited to this conversation.

I think they were making the same point
Good point
Thanks. I live a couple houses away from a rail line that doesnt transport humans.
