Passenger rail isn't happening in the US. That could be done, and effective, if the powers that be didn't like lots of money going to deep pocket construction companies that (sort of) maintain roads.
God Please!
no rail.
Noisy, limited and limiting
Buses. New ones are comfortable quiet and go where the people want to be.
This country is a country ready for a complex busing system run by private entities. Since anyone can purchase buses and put them on the road it is less prone to monopolies and poor service.
Buses are the future of mass transit.
