Looks at Japan, South Korea, Switzerland even to some extent Germany: You sure about that?
Let's be honest, transportation in America is a shitshow because EVERYTHING there is designed around the car. It's a country where people will drive across an area that most places in the world would be several countries and it wouldn't be that much of a big deal. That means people are less caring about public transport so it's easier to scim some of the funds meant to upgrade transportation to private slush funds.
The only places worse for public transport than the US is places like the UK where literal beaurocracy and extremely poor planning stops ANY improvement being met on time and in some cases to quality. I think they've given up on that HS2 line they've been waffling over for over a decade...
I'd say it's both a population with a destructive mentality AND constant embezzlement by corrupt politicians voted in by said destructive population because they give them free gibs.
It's a constant cycle of shit feeding each other till the urban centre dies.
Yes, america is designed around cars, because you fucking need them. You can drive for 12 hours and still be in texas. Public transportation is shit unless your entire population is crammed in major cities and countries about the size of states.
Pretty much, it's MUCH too expensive and not worth it to build trains everywhere given the size of America. You're better off with trains focused on industrial use unless urban only and airports everywhere else.
And both of those are still secondary to cars and even trucks.
California, despite bragging about being the 5th largest economy in the world, can't get a fucking high-speed rail built without going grossly overbudget.
Meanwhile, Taiwan, a Chinese rump state on an island with minimal resources, managed to get one built.
The one US state where public transportation might make sense is also a South America-tier corrupt shithole.
Honestly I'm not sure how viable high speed rail is that close to a fault line anyway. The tolerances on the track quality aren't that big so it could be that the whole line is constantly out of commission for inspection/repair after every minor quake.
It is reasonable to build high speed trains regionally. There's absolutely no reason there shouldn't be a bullet train between Los Angeles and San Diego or New York City and Boston, other than communists running the local governments and refusing to lock up the people who make public transportation unusable.
Don't blame this on the car. Ultra-high-density cities are the enemy, and cars help prevent them. The dedication to building hive cities is the problem.
Oh I'm not saying it's a bad thing that America is car centric, I'm just outlining why, like all things in the real world that the leftist ignore in their fantasy delusions, it's contextual if public transport is an effective solution to the area and how best to utilise it.
I keep noticing this and it's clear the government is as well which is why the elites are trying to come up with ways to discourage people from driving and their main way is make it too fucking expensive and you can't convince me there isn't a conspiracy going on with that.
Car insurance premiums in the UK are a joke and it's getting so bad that even the normies are noticing it and complaining. A lot of them are 'shocked' at some of the quotes they've been getting and the insurance companies try to sneakily blame inflation but the reality is especially here we're forced to pay for car insurance and there are limits on everything. I'm generally a free market guy and this isn't a free market. They want to price people off the roads. I've been doing for maths and even the most basic vehicles ever it's slowly starting to hit the 1000's even for guys like me who have been driving for years and I'm in my 30's now. It's not a fucking ferrari I'm trying to get either, it's a Citroen C1 and other similar hatchbacks.
The problem is and I can see it all happening in real time the elites don't understand that boomers won't be able to drive the heavy vehicles especially forever and that's going to hit western infrastructure so fucking hard. They think they can replace it all with migrants, but likely more of them are illegal than western governments are willing to admit, so they can't get licenses and you certainly aren't going to get employers willing to take on the risk in the potential event they'll go truck of peace for no damn reason and try to ram a ton of people.
This leaves the younger generations who have been royally fucked to the point they could barely own a 50cc scooter if they're lucky. The responses they get from out of touch and vindictive boomers as well take the piss where they go with the "Young drivers wanting sports cars and tearing around the suburbs" stereotype. Young generations aren't even passing driving tests anymore so where do that leave us? Much of the date that car insurance companies have aren't even relevant and frankly any of the 'young' drivers especially if they're migrants doing that kind of shit are likely illegal to begin with because I see the fuckers around in Bradford and know exactly who they are.
The whole thing is probably going to collapse in on itself within 10 years and the migrants will mysteriously self-deport when the government money dries up and that's a genuine prediction from me. Regardless of whether Trump wins the presidency or not. This is the collapse that I'm predicting, it will be one of infrastructure not a food crisis.
It's such a piss take as well looking at it from an outsider perspective because a lot of EU countries especially the likes of Poland and Hungary apparently have much more reasonable car insurance costs and rules. Easily the biggest piss take of this whole situation is one of utter denial and the usual NPCs responses of people trying to justify the corporate decision not realising the impact this is all going to have on the economy.
It's worse than a scam, it's a scam the government forces you to pay extortionate amounts of money for to even do certain things or exist in the country. Since car insurance is almost legally required in most countries the insurance companies know they can charge whatever they like even if it's completely retarded.

No amount of money will solve black people ruining public spaces. It’s not an issue of funding.
I'd say it's both a population with a destructive mentality AND constant embezzlement by corrupt politicians voted in by said destructive population because they give them free gibs.

This is one of the constant copes.

As an American I'm not keen on giving up my elbow room.

Going on California public transit as a white man is basically suicide.

The behavior of the demographics of those cities are reason enough.
Supposedly studies indicate the train fare would be more expensive than local airfare.
