“I guess Asian countries of China, Japan, and SK will be the only places they exist for the foreseeable future.”
Thankfully so, it’s not needed in the US, and WE ARE BROKE. At most, just beef up the Amtrak route a bit.
Yes it’s needed. People are so tired of the airlines. They are worse than Greyhound ever was. They get worse every day.
Amtrak may be late but it gets you there. The airlines can’t even do that. They cancel flights left and right. I’d rather sleep on an Amtrak train while delayed, than in any airport.
I think more people are realizing this and starting to take train travel more and more. Try right now to book a sleeper car on Amtrak, you can’t. Not for at least a year it’s that booked up.
