    “great infrastructure, just not for public transportation” sounds to me like another way to say “shit infrastructure”

      Infrastructure can apply to different things, you can have great infrastructure for cars, but not trains. You can have well maintained power lines, but poor internet connectivity. You can have a robust water utility, but a mixed storm and sewer system.

      If you’re gonna point out one bad part of infrastructure and say all of it’s bad then idk what to say for you.

      You can go from London to Edinburgh by car (412 miles) in 7.5 hrs or by train in 5.5 hrs.

      You can go from Richmond to Charleston by car (432 miles) in 6 hours or by train in 13.25 hrs.
