So High Speed Rail isn't needed?

[Crepitus]

At least according to trump. Apparently air fare is only $2.00

Which is good because I need to fly back to Kansas and get my ID so I can buy some milk here.

Trump Says High-Speed Rail Isn’t Needed Because ‘You Take an Airplane – It Costs You $2’

The president alleged that high-speed rail would be a less efficient and more expensive alternative than air travel, which in his estimation, costs $2.

“We’re gonna start a big investigation on that because it’s– I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said. “Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. The worst overruns that there have ever been in the history of our country. And it wasn’t even necessary. I would have said, you don’t buy it. You take an airplane – it costs you $2. It costs you nothing. You take an airplane. But this got started. And if you have to, you drive, you can drive.”

Do you think air travel costs $2.00?

Do you think a high speed rail ticket is going to cost $2?

Do you know when the last time even a NY subway ride was $2? 2009.

It has been very successful for those building that boondoggle.

Evidently you think a high speed rail ticket would cost the same as a subway ride in 2009.

Amtrak on short runs, the ones where high speed rail might actually make sense is not 100x cheaper than airfare, which you seem to be implying.

Typical Trump hyperbole.

Air travel doesn't require any infrastructure between destinations.

 

[Polishprince]

I've seen the plans for high speed rail in Ohio. The plans were for a train that would make just 4 stops across the state, in the Shithole cities of Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Cleveland.

All of the other towns , villages, townships in the state would still have to pay, but would get zero benefit. And those cities where it doesn't stop, would have to endure waiting in their cars at grade crossing while this train passed.

Why not let the High Speed rail stop in every city, instead of just a select few ?

Airliners don't stop everywhere either, of course. But they pass all of the "flyover" cities at 5 or 6 miles high, and they don't bother people like this high speed crap.

Trains don't require air traffic controllers.

 

[MarcATL]

America has already been behind on infrastructure, and this Trump 2.0 Administration wants to bomb us further behind.

Let's see how it works out for him.

 

[Woodznutz]

We need to slow down, not speed up.

 

[Woodznutz]

Trains don't require air traffic controllers.

Trains are highly controlled, all along their routes.

Train operation on the main line is closely controlled for safe operation by dispatchers, train crew, and foremen on the track.

The dems and Gavin in Cali have completely robbed the tax payers of billions of dollars for this high speed rail project

They will be investigated, what a complete failure Gavin and the Dems have been for Cali

Correct it’s rail traffic control

Wow, you aren’t bright

No they require line controllers.

You think no one monitors or controls trains on a rail system?
