<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="Aikidomaster"] But we (the United States) must move into the 21st Century and take a close look at high speed rail transportation. Our highway system is overcrowded and in need of repairs. What better way to decrease pollution and the use of oil than high speed rail compared to taking the airlines (who's on time records are poor) and taking your car. What is your opinion?[/quote]</P> <P mce_keep="true">For the first six months on FY10, the nation's commercial airlines arrived on-time 82% of the time. During the same period Amtrak's on-time arrival score was 81%. The Acela was on the advertised 80.9% of the time, whilsts the NEC excluding Acela operations were on-time 78.4% The on time arrival percentage for the short distance corridor trains was 82.7%, whilst the long distance trains saw on time arrivals touch 77.8%.</P>
