Why, fellow hue, I'll tell you how : literally all we need is an initial kick, AKA actually start building shit, and you'll just be able to watch economy take its course. I remember one IBGE study about the TAV project showed that a good 80% of those interviewed did say they'd actually take the train if they could, since caging around huezilian roads is a deathwish, and planes can get silly expensive even here in the Southeast. Problem is, it cannot, under any circumstance, be done by the government, like, no way in hell. Not only was the TAV nothing but a meme tier fake government job generator, the actual planned lines were fucking retarded too. Take a look at the proposed Belô-SP line : almost 600km of rail and just 3 stations before getting to Campinas. That's pretty much refusing a wad of cash and screaming "I FUCKING HATE PROFITS", like, I'm a special kind of autist who spends hours a day plotting railway lines on topographical maps and I've identified 14 different potential stops on a possible MG-SP line. Don't even get me started on their plan to connect Uberlândia to São Paulo, but not Uberlândia to BH, because fuck connecting places to their actual state capital.
Also I might want to add that mountains are a nonissue either, plenty of river valleys that we can build on. It only becomes an issue once you get to the RJ-MG or SP-MG border that you really have to tunnel big time under the Mantiqueira, but that would be what, a 15-18km pseudo base tunnel at best, and much less if you hug BR-383, like Shinkansen style small stretches of tunnel and bridge.
>>1255285You'd be right were it not for EFVM. It's a bad joke of a memediesel railroad though. 660 kilometers or so, and more than 12 hours to go from end to end. Only reason I take it once every blue Moon is to visit my granny, because only other options are to either cage through one of the most dangerous roads in the state or take a rural plane. Those are well known for crashing due to shitty pilots.
