>>1197087> k, Elon.Implementing commuter rail on any kinda even barely effective basis would require literally ripping up all the road infrastructure in the U.S. and even then, it would still take twice as long (at least) to go the same distance.
> surely everyone lives like me in the suburbsYes, the vast majority of Americans do in fact live in the ‘burbs and even in cities like LA with its “horrendous” commute time, its less than a 1/2 hour drive. Replacing it with a commuter rail system would make the trip easily twice as long and be far more of a hassle.
> But the U.S. subsidizes roads like crazyExcept its not a “subsidy”, its a fair exchange for fair value, as roads are in constant use all day erry day. Commuter rail on the other hand, needs a continual influx of tax payers dollars just to exist, as it has nowhere near enough riders to pay for itself.
Also, this is the last I'm going to make for a while, as Captcha is continually fucking up...
