@HiddenPluto But have fun driving 8 hours on 95 lol

[Mik @drop_kick_nik]

@HiddenPluto A trip to Yamagata from Tokyo takes about 5 hours to drive. 2.5-3 by bullet train. The flight itself would be shorter, but including the fare, travel to the airport, security, boarding, deboarding, etc, it would still be more convenient by train

[Mik @drop_kick_nik]

@HiddenPluto You could literally have a line that connects DC to Boston, and that right there could service over 15 million people. When I worked in Japan there were times I did fly (to Sapporo, Matsuyama, etc) but also there were plenty times I took the Shinkansen out of Tokyo (cont.)

[Mik @drop_kick_nik]

@HiddenPluto You did not address it lmao, especially when it comes to the JR lines. hell, even the EU’s HSR’s still manage to turn profit. Also, you assume this would mean connecting coasts vis HSR, but really they’re used as an intermediate form of transit in medium distance travel

[Mik @drop_kick_nik]

@HiddenPluto Also JR lines like the Shinkansen have literally seen ridership of over 10 billion people since it opened, so don’t act like this is a niche service

[Mik @drop_kick_nik]

@HiddenPluto @kamikazecash People drive because they have to, I’m sure if you included a decent and more efficient rail system the daily number of drivers would drop. Also we’re not talking about “overhauling our entire infrastructure”, just updating lines that exist.

@theegibster @kamikazecash @InternetH0F @grok My brother what do you think driving down 95 is like???

[Mik @drop_kick_nik]

@HiddenPluto @kamikazecash @InternetH0F I think taking in the US’s spending priorities, it doesn’t seem practical. But if countries in Asia (and Europe) are able to both finance and operate something like this, there’s no reason we can’t.
