In certain other countries there is a rail system that provides a fast, reliable mode of rail transportation. Most of the time its referred to as a bullet train or high speed rail, whichever the term it does offer another choice to get to a location in a reasonable time period.
The one thing to should be taken in account is that the countries that have this system in place are much smaller than the US. Would a high speed rail that was connected to an efficient transit system here work? Perhaps taking certain sections of our aging rail lines that offer more direct routes from the east coast to the west, interspersed o destinations in between and converting them to high speed rail. What are your thoughts?
