don’t forget to deboard when you arrive.

The Dems are not talking about your city buses and trolleys, but nationwide passenger rail transport; making roadways, eventually, for the wealthy only;
Don’t mind when you home is condemned for a fraction of the actual value to make a right of way for super trains that in theory go hundreds of MPH, but actually only average 60- 70 MPH with all the myriad of stops at every town along the way;
Don’t forget the massive tax subsidies needed to keep rail systems running nationwide where ridership is few for the number of seats, and tickets are subsidized for a fraction of the cost, while taking a vehicle will either get you there at the same time or quicker;
Don’t forget that the high-speed trains will be made in China;
Don’t forget the massive Federal tax hike to pay for it all.
Good points, but bear in mind that innovation may soon provide a means of transoortation that is independent of roads and bridges, yet capable of mass usage if necessary.
I am not about to discard collective efforts as often stupid in the way of intent and results.
