SD <-> LA is also a lovely ride. Makes it feel like you're in one big city. Takes more than 2 hours, but it's city center to city center, and trains are so much

SD <-> LA is also a lovely ride. Makes it feel like you're in one big city. Takes more than 2 hours, but it's city center to city center, and trains are so much more comfortable than any alternative.
- melling 3y agoThat’s 120 miles. Sometime in the future that’ll be commutable by maglev. Here are a few other commutable routes with maglev NYC - Philly 92 miles NYC - DC 225 miles NYC - Boston 215 miles NYC - Portland, ME 325 miles NYC - Pittsburgh 380 miles NYC - Cleveland 470 miles Cleveland - Chicago 350 miles St. Louis - Chicago 320 miles Houston - Dallas 240 miles Houston - Austin 170 miles Dallas - Austin 200 miles Seattle - Portland 175 miles Las Vegas - Los Angeles 280 miles
- gaadd33 3y agoPeople already commute via trains from NYC to Philly, no need to maglev to make it reasonable. Some of the other ones (NYC to Pittsburgh for example) run into the same issues with maglev as normal rails do, namely geography. But it would be great if all of those were connected by regular 200mph rails, 300mph maglev would be even better. I don't think there's the appetite for the level of investment either one would take.
