I meant before society would hit significant pain points. Trains and trucks are logistics. Planes do a little, too, but how much of what planes do actually qualities as critical?
- ggm 4y agoIn australia, the painpoint is very close. Few people take trains or drive between Melbourne and Sydney, its one of the worlds most heavily used routes. Lockdown meant nobody was able to drive or go by train. Remove aircraft, the burden on australian norms would be immense. In Europe, a case is being made somewhere between 4h and 2h is a place to say "you should not fly" -France had a small panel of ordinary citizens propose this, and its being dickered down by the government but the principle is there. Mel-Syd is 1.5hr by plane btw. By car its 9 hours. even adding the 1hr either side of flight process costs, its faster than car. We don't have HST. Its a 20+ year dream to build one.
