      it takes me 24 hours to go by train the same distance it takes me to fly 1.5 hours. and the cost is the same. there are some problems.

        This has more to do with how commuter trains are forced to give priority to freight trains, causing delays, than actual travel times

          no it has to do with stopping at every damn town and there being mountains that slow the trains the fuck down from whatever speed y’all imagine them being able to go to like, 40mph. but please go off.

        If you go 300km/h by train and 900km/h by plane then the numbers don’t add up.

      These poor people have such a bad rail network that even their dreams are limited…
