[quote user="samfp1943"]In Europe as compared to this country, in many cases a component that must be considered is distance. There population centers are closer together, which lends itself to Mass Transit means of Transport. [/quote] I agree. The aim of HSR here in Germany is to reduce the travelling time so that the train gets competitive with air transportation. In most cases it is faster than traveling by car even considering that the main station is not your final destination. Public transit within population centers could already be present in America but the first beginnings were shut down with a few exceptions. Introducing it now is difficult and very cost intensive. What a functioning public transit system can achive shows Hamburg, my town of birth. Hamburg started the first subway line in 1912. The public transit system grew steadily and is still growing. In 2017 this system transported 455 Mio passengers with 1.8 Mio inhabitants. Regards, Volker
