Well, I know this is just in theory and all, but the trains won't constantly be running at 200 mph. Not to mention station stops, acceleration, braking... but anyway. <br /> <br />How long the trip takes, which all comes down to distance in the long run, would be the primary concern for most business travelers. Up to 4 hours would probably be good considering how long security takes now at airports, not to mention added comfort of the train and what not. <br /> <br />I would like to see high speed rail from Washington, D.C. to Atlanta via Richmond, Raleigh, Charlotte, and Greenville. I believe that 4 trips each way should be sufficient at the very start and add as ridership increases. Two in the morning, two in the evening for each direction. <br /> <br />Other routes: <br /> <br />Florida - Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville? <br />Texas - Houston to Dallas <br />Chicago hub and spike system to surrounding cities <br />Many more that I can't think of at the second...
