Are extension of highway and freeway directly to be blane for for the decline of rail transportation in Shikoku and Hokkaido? Should government give up rail and continues to expand freeway or highway, given that most trips in both area have already shifted to be done by automobiles? Or should they stop constructing highways and freeways while upgrading existing rail infrastructure to something like superexpress in order to nake railways competitive against road travel?
