There's not a lot of benefit in the US. We have the most airports of any country in the world, great connectivity via air travel between our cities for fairly cheap, and the best ATC and airline safety record in the world. Airplanes are also faster (500MPH-600MPH vs 300MPH trains) and can go places where there is limited infrastructure.
- koyote 8y agoAll those things also exist in Europe. Flights are actually far cheaper in Europe than in the US. The majority of people will choose to pay a premium to take the train from London to Paris because planes are less convenient, less comfortable and ultimately slower when you factor in security checks and distance to the city centre.
