Ain't Columbus within a couple of hours bus trip from Cleveland or Toledo? Not even the Europeans are attempting to build high speed rail everywhere, they are basically attempting over a period of twenty years, mind you as a starter system, to build the great box with extensions.... Paris to the Ruhr, the Ruhr to Verona, Verona to Marsailles, Marsailles to Paris, with extensions to London, Berlin, hamburg, Venice, Rome, and to Seville...... <br /> <br />We haven't even started on a starter system, but if we build what I suggest, a local could run from Columbus to either Toledo or Cleveland, or even a local possibly through Cincinnati to Lousiville...... <br /> <br />Everyone still thinks trains will run at 30 mph in the future..... Think a little more positive, and think that trains can average 150 mph:THE TECHNOLOGY EXISTS! Yet, everyone screams about a measley $100 billion over 20 years, $5 billion a year while O'Hare airport in Chicago wants this year, notice this year alone, $6 billion to reconfigure its runways, basically plow them under and start anew without having runways crossing one another..... And for what, a 20 percent increase in air traffic capability......with that much expended, you would expect at least a 100 percent increase in air traffic capability! <br /> <br />
