quote [ the U.S. has no true high-speed trains, aside from sections of Amtrak’s Acela line in the Northeast Corridor. The Acela can reach 150 mph for only 34 miles of its 457-mile span. Its average speed between New York and Boston is about 65 mph. ]

Nothing new there. GM basically destroyed mass transit in California decades ago.
I actually installed a bunch of submetering systems in the "LA Subway Tunnel Apartments" when I was working for Hunt Power some years ago. I grew up in southern-cal and never even knew that LA had a subway system all started and ready to go before it got torpedoed by the automobile lobbies. Now the tunnels have trendy hipsterish apartments and lofts and a small mall inside them, and underground. Meanwhile we have the worst traffic in the country and a joke of a token mass transit system. |
