yeah agreed, but he’s not the only clown in the room
For a fair comparison I’m assuming that most people will speed on the highway
I agree with you mostly.
But I’ll point out that 200km/h is still ~50% higher than highway speeds, with no traffic, and you can still focus on other things. So even low end rail is still better than driving.
I’m not even sure I mind low speed rail. I just want more and cheaper lines to everywhere. It’s way nicer than busses.
High speed can come afterwards if we can get public thinking behind trains as regular transport
Isn’t a more honest phrasing that Canada Post the public service costs 1bn/year to have in the country?
I think i still prefer having a mail system even if it costs money. Same as having police and roads.
I tried a train from Ontario to Quebec this year and found exactly that. Flying was slightly more expensive but would have been a better experience on every dimension
