So you compare average speed (that includes all stops) with max speed of a car...?

- tabeth 9y agoWell, yeah. The MTA in particular apparently has a 55mph max speed (same link). A car can compete. Keep in mind I'm not counting traffic, but obviously is (currently) a huge advantage for a train. I'm talking more about greenfield projects.
- tych0 9y agoOk, so if we ignore one of the major advantages of trains, trains aren't competitive?
