An actual high-speed rail system that would provide a reliable alternative to air travel at short and medium distances would be a good thing, but the proposal is for a system no faster than interstate travel, which would have the inconvenience of travel at either end with no improvement in travel time over driving.

The present proposal is just silly.

If you watch the VIDEO you will understand that the “idea” of moving people” is a ploy, there is much more involved.

China needs workers busy and China needs to have a way to move these workers around their country en masse.

Think a few steps ahead.

Who’s proposing this? The government or free enterprise? Would government rail “compete” with air travel?
