True, but the post is about trains being on schedule (or showing up at all), not about speed. I wasn’t saying US trains service is as good as European.
No, it’s not a value judgement of any kind. Imagine that - just making an observation with no implications or underlying opinion to swipe left/right on. What a concept.

Yeah, I just see that said a lot and think its a bad excuse for having bad service.
Especially when we had much better service 100 years ago, with a fraction of the modern day population.
100 years ago was also before the era of profit hyper-optimization, which it turns out de-optimizes every other aspect of a thing.
Is this a “glass half full” thing? Can a non-existent train never be late or never be in time?
