"Just add one more lane. I swear, we're gonna fix traffic, just let me build one more lane. Just one more lane bro, please."
I don't know where you got your percentages from, but here's a graph of passenger capacity across different modes of transport: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Passenger_Capacity_of_different_Transport_Modes.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Passenge...
By the way, wanna see something embarrassing? https://youtu.be/T3LLgzO_PrI?t=234 https://youtu.be/T3LLgzO_PrI?t=234. Japan had 100% safe, 100% punctual, high speed and throughput trains figured out in 1964.
"Over the Shinkansen's 50-plus year history, carrying over 10 billion passengers, there have been no passenger fatalities due to train accidents such as derailments or collisions, despite frequent earthquakes and typhoons."
Like I said, embarrassing.
- willywanker 2y agoNow do population density of Japan vs the US, or even the size of all of Japan vs various American states.
- kiba 2y agoPopulation density of whole region isn't as relevant as you think. The most relevant are metropolitan areas and areas of high traffic corridors. That is where trains and mass transit make the most sense.
- panick21_ 2y agoMaybe watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lupWYQdDgQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lupWYQdDgQ Looking at states is stupid, because 'states' don't limit where people live. If you look at regions where people live, the US is brilliant for trains and high speed trains.
