Soon they’ll be banning auto traffic when mass transit is available.

In much of the Northeast US, a two hour train ride is probably fifty miles...

Good Lord. But still no public open debate on man made global warming.

Train brains. Though I must admit, I wonder if more train service in FL would get some a-hole drivers off the roads and make things a little safer? But yeah, many trains run on “non polluting” electricity. Or IS it? Like with Teslas and other electric cars where does that electricity come from, unicorn farts?

You are morally obligated to go the slow way ... Mad Mommy Earth demands it.

Fascists love making the trains run on time.

Little else to show. Just their choo choos.

I had my fill of France and their public employee transportation unions.
Never again

I found travel throughout Europe much easier by train, maybe the trip is longer but if you go city center to city center, you don’t have a 30-45 min trip to the airport, at the airport an hour, then the flight, then another 30-45 minute trip to town. I enjoyed a three hour train ride over a 2 hour flight as often as possible.

The politicians in France eat snails and get Snail Brain where they want to slow everyone down.

I’m sure Buttiplug is very very excited to hear about this idea.

There’s more liberty in Mexico than there is in France. Or half of the US, for that matter.

Imagine the same in the US: hey, no trouble, Amtrak will get you there in five days!

France will “unexpectedly” experience a decline in tourism.

I don’t know about France but here in America they make sure the train systems rarely connect to the airports. if you connect commuter trains to the airports people will take the trains. You don’t have to pass an asinine law.

The trains in Europe are amazing. In high school, my class did a trip to Amsterdam (that city in the 70s was a teenager dream.), so 3 friends of mine decided to go to Paris, I went with them and the train was nice...

If we did high speed rail in the Northeast, it would be a new right of way. The fastest time between NY and Boston was 5 hours and that was the Ghost Train of the New England Limited.

While Paris has SOME things to see, generally, it is a crap hole!
