    start complaining

    The public transportation in my city already has a bad reputation for not finishing a previous rail project (which was desired by the residents). But at least people are angry because they didn’t get it. But at the same time, if they can’t get basic slow ass ancient trains to be built, I cannot imagine a 200 mph train and railway being built, especially since everything is privatized as fuck.

    Also, this isn’t a problem with the trains, but there’s literally NOTHING at these train stops. Just factories and parking lots. You’d still need a car and possibly drive on the highway even after using the train to get to any destination

      On the bright side, high speed rail is generally not done by city transit agencies, it’s done by larger regional groups who hopefully can manage the project better.

        I believe in the US, most people support public transportation as long as it was reliable. It’s just that propaganda here is strong and makes people think they’re alone in supporting buses and trains. Even the politicians, but usually they’re bought off already. I should get in contact with some of the transportation reps to see what advice they have
