500 miles on Amtrak east coast can take about 10 hours! I’m doing it again in a few weeks. That’s just so dumb slow embarrassing.
30 miles will go 100 mph tho!
Don’t you feel the future?!
And more expensive than flying a good chunk of the time!
Rail is more expensive than flying in China and Europe as well. It’s slower and costs more, but the experience is normal and dignified instead of airport security and aeroplane seats and Boeing quality pressurisation. It’s also better for the environment and the senses of anyone unlucky enough to live close to a terminal.
See I agree, but Boston-New York and New York-DC are still very competitive with driving and flying, if only because their respective airports are so far from the city itself.
