[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Northeast Corridor (NEC) contributes significantly to air travel problems through congestion, delays, and increased costs. The NEC's high volume of air travel (30% of all US air travelers) and the 24-minute average delay for flights in the area result in an estimated $2.5 billion in annual costs. Additionally, the NEC's high demand for air travel places strain on the national aviation system, with over half of flight delays nationwide originating in New York and Philadelphia area airports[/quote]

Super wild that a part of the country with high population density would also have a high demand for transportation.[/quote]
If the NE had high speed rail like other developed countries it would help, largely eliminating the need for air travel for trips <1000 miles.  But of course that will never happen.[/quote]
That ship has sailed. Where is the land for this new rail. The NIMBYs and the people who would lose their property under imminent domain would take years in court litigation. How long did it take Maryland to finally out in the purple metro line because too many fought the government. A lot of railroads that probably could have been used
Have been decommissioned and tracks pulled up. I’m thinking of all the tracks and land that CSX sold and the land was developed for houses and shopping centers that could have been used for high speed trains. [/quote]
