It does make sense, don't it, and keeping politics out of the equation, going with numbers of 5 million metros to 2.5 million metros. A lot of cities would be linked to high speed rail. And as I have posted before, it is not the airlines the fast train competes with, it is our automobiles. And a days travel is a days travel, up to 8, 10, even 12 hours. People drive that distance today. And the frequency will improve significantly. One can get from Denver to New York City in less than 15 hours, from Dallas to Chicago in 6 hours or so, and from Chicago to Orlando less than 15 hours..... Not jet busting, but hey, the long distance airlines are having profit problems too. It seems only the short haul airlines are turning a profit, I wonder how long they will be profitable when we have fast trains.....
