You’re saying that a car on the highway is faster than a subway in midtown Manhattan?
How fast can you drive a car in Manhattan?
And you probably don’t realize this, but modern trains go about 200 mph. They just don’t go that fast in the United States.
China managed to build about 18,000 miles of these trains in about 10 years.
- burfog 9y agoModern cars go about 200 mph as well. This happens in Germany. So, that really doesn't favor the trains. Both trains and cars could theoretically they could go faster in the United States.
- Symbiote 9y agoThis doesn't actually happen in Germany at any time you'd otherwise take the train to our from work. The road is too busy. Additionally, driving that fast is stressful and dangerous.
