[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The US is absolutely pathetic wrt the time and cost of building subways. [/quote] It is infrastructure in general. Look at Amtrak. Republicans will not fund a rail system that could run at 150 mph. Let alone a maglev train. New York to Washington could be an hour and 40 minutes or an hour with maglev. New York to Boston 40 minutes. Now the big benefit of investing in a high speed train network in the northeast would be on time air travel. The NE air corridor is at maximum use. 90% of air traffic delays in the US can be traced back to the NE air corridor. With a functioning high speed or maglev train operating in the NE you could remove 30% of the air traffic from the corridor. No can’t do that because it cost too much.[/quote]
