Or was that Department of the Interior? Then they would be closer to the parks.
I miss Willie . . .
I was asked if I would ride it. Answer: yes. Once. Just for the novelty, but what am I going to do in beautiful downtown Miami? How much business is in downtown Miami?
One good thing Jeb Bush did was to get the wasteful project stopped by reversing the stupid Amendment.
I don’t.
With so many people working remotely is this necessary?
BWI does have an Amtrak Stop and a light rail stop.
The a/p is relatively way South of the Inner Harbor and Ft. McHenry.
“I miss Willie...”
Me too. I largely come here to be entertained in many ways.
NIMBY. Everyone wants it, just not in their backyard. Can’t they just build in a lower class neighborhood? You know, the one where our nanny and gardener live?
Maybe today is the day Willie Green will come back from exile.
We are a backward banana republic infested by leftist bureaucrats, kleptocrats who all want to get a piece of the action and wacko environmentalists who want a ten thousand page report of the impact of any construction on each of a thousand obscure animal species.
We will be sending colonists to Uranus before such a project could be completed.
;-)
They are going to need a lot of Solar Panels to create enough electricity to run this thing
Yep! Good plan...
Merge the two biggest criminal enterprises on the east coast...
DC to New York? They should name that train “The Handbasket.” Doesn’t matter which way it’s traveling, either.
“...the first leg of a system that would carry passengers from Washington to New York in an hour.”
Not gonna make it. Not if it stops at Baltimore, Wilmington and Philadelphia.
Congestion on I95 can only be fixed by massive widening or fewer vehicles. The rail network is close to full capacity, forcing more freight onto the roads.
It’s financial good sense, and good for business, to use rail.
I live in a semi-rural part of the UK. After 60 years of ripping up rail lines and letting the canals go to pot while funnelling ever more cars into the same old bottlenecks, our local area started putting them back in.
There are new business parks being built out of town, close to the railways and canals which are back in use.
Link roads to the freeway are drawing morning traffic east and away from the congested towns. This road traffic moves freely at speed whereas the westbound road traffic that’s been encouraged by road dependence and urbanisation still turns the trunk roads into car parks.
More and more people are going to work by boat or train, getting to work quicker, and aren’t arriving at work stressed out by the traffic jams.
Forty mile mag-lev system? It won’t even have time to get up to full speed before it has to start decelerating.
Brill.
Transportation from one sh##hole to another, genius!
Hey, with so many fewer living Americans permitted to travel outside their quarters, we’ll be able to afford the very best in transportation for them!
ummmm ...could be wrong...but isn’t fiber faster?
