Which hopefully would be paired with more inter-urban high-speed rail regionally* where it would make sense in terms of mirroring or even beating your standard

Which hopefully would be paired with more inter-urban high-speed rail regionally* where it would make sense in terms of mirroring or even beating your standard drive/flight time. Hell, even if a more widespread high-speed rail system were still slower than air travel I would still take it because air travel is absolutely miserable and I detest it with every fiber of my being. *I specify regionally because I know someone is going to "WELL AKSHUALLY " me on the fact that the US is a large spread out country and intercontinental high speed rail wouldn't work (though I would love to take a train from NYC to LA because why not?).
