[Orangecat]

Why are simpletons so fascinated with trains?

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Democrats = traitors

 

[Missourian]

Trains don't require air traffic controllers.

Super fake news.

 

[Missourian]

High speed rail is a boondoggle.

 

[westwall]

Do you think air travel costs $2.00?

That wasn't the question

 

[westwall]

Trains don't require air traffic controllers.

They require ground controllers.

Tell us the costs of building all of the New York subway/elevated lines today if they never existed as an example. You Progs would not have. We have massive infrastructure in our prog cities that benefit from labor that was not Prog. And they cannot even keep renovations and upgrades without massive tax increases or federal government help.

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.”

Let's see, CA Spent $20B, so far, to build 10 feet of "high speed rail" while airfare LAX to LAS is $70 so, that's a lot of tickets that could have been bough instead of the grift and graft that was spent

The difference between train travel and air travel is that libs have to pay full price for flying whereas government can pay for some or mist of their ticket on a train

For libs that's the beauty of marxism

You need line of sight for mag lev.

Do you think air travel costs $2.00?

Do you think high speed rail is going to be available to the little people?

 

[rightwinger]

Europe has high speed rail
China has high speed rail
Japan has high speed rail
Even India has high speed rail

The US still uses 1980s technology

It is in other countries

 

[drudge X]

Europe has high speed rail
China has high speed rail
Japan has high speed rail
Even India has high speed rail

The US still uses 1980s technology

If there's profit, Amtrak would face lots of competition.

The problem is that only the left wingers want high speed rail and they clearly can’t build it effectively

Amtrak needs government support to project new rail lines over public and private lands.

The Northeast Corridor is highly profitable but in rundown condition. It needs to be modernized

Modernized for how much and how many years of environmental review and litigation tied up in court? This is why it's so difficult to get a massive project going in this country. See CA high speed rail boondoggle.
