The passenger flight thing is the one I have to really chuckle at. Nothing against the work being done in this area--hey, not my money. But effectively you have lots of folks, who probably mostly take trains, super-excited that maybe one day CEOs and high-end lawyers will be able to fly from NY to London.

- anchpop 5y agowhy is that sensible?
- ghaff 5y agoYeah. If there's good train service, it probably makes more sense to take the train. But if I'm flying through a city to get to another city, switching transportation modes can be a pain. e.g. Normally I'd take a train from (downtown) Manhattan to (downtown) Philadelphia. But if I'm flying into a NYC airport on my way to Philadelphia, that's a terrific hassle especially with luggage.
