[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TheAntiGates And REALLY, who wants to go coast to coast in 16 hours, if you can fly there in 4? I might do it once, just to say I did, after that it would seem Like 12 hours down the drain, and I suspect this would be a popular perspective, time being all valuable to most people, so after the novelty wears off, the public gets stuck with a high maintenance item that nobody uses? Seems like I've seen this scenario unfold once before, and private industry depended on a public bailout then, the only thing that's changed is we don't know who they are (yet, if ever) this time. [/quote] GATES, my good man--so good to see ya. I see you're in rare form as usual! [:D] Actually, travelling coast to coast would be cool--very cool. Although I must agree with you that it's not a trip that everyone would want to take on a 'have-to' basis, it would be intriguing for perhaps more folks than we realize. As one writer indicated, not every one would be traveling the entire stretch each trip. Personally, I would appreciate such an option--if for no other reason than I dislike planes. Surely I can't be the only one? HSR, nationwide, is a 'doable' thing. All that remains is commitment--from public and private sources, as well as Americans showing a willingness to support such a massive undertaking via our tax dollars. Heck, I'll even toss in an extra $50 here and there![8D]
