- joshuaheard 8y agoThat's true, I should have used Nice as my example.
- eli_gottlieb 8y agoNah, that's basically just a knock-down argument that high-speed rail really works: it takes one fourth of the time by train as it does by car, and is less expensive.
- melling 8y agoYeah, and you should have included the time to get to the airport. The need to arrive early, trains make a few stops between destinations, etc That plane leaving SFO isn’t stopping in Fresno. I suppose when you’re contriving an example, you’re hoping that people aren’t really paying attention.
