<p>Air Travel is cheaper and faster and easier to endure from... Little Rock to Baltimore. But take Amtrack for almost twice the money (and two days) with a train change in chicago on a iffy schedule? No thanks.</p><p>TGV or Bullet trains in NEC style traffic at 250-300 mph will most certainly compete with the Air. Especially when storms arrive and screw up the eastern airports. If you equipt these trains with a common area, social area, food, wireless or other internet network etc and take care of the people while they travel.. there should be an increase in passenger work.</p><p>Then again, I think we are 100 years or more from such fast rail service as a alternative to interstate or air travel.</p><p>Maybe Im dazzled by the new A380's recent entry into service.</p>
