Rail is expensive in the US because you've lost the skills to build it. In Europe its cheaper than freeways.
Also in London we dont have space to build massive carparks everywhere so lots of people in London dont have cars.
- AtlasBarfed 1y agoWho said anything about cars? I guess you are validating my opinion that this isn't politically possible because mentally people immediately assume a road means free access by moms in minivans.
- codeulike 1y agoWell if you said 'road' and stressed that it was not a public road but a road with specific rules about what could go on it, that would probably get the message across. Your chosen phrase 'dedicated road for transport' doesn't convey that very well. Everything is transport.
- pjc50 1y ago> In Europe its cheaper than freeways. I'm not sure that's true for HS2. In practice the UK builds occasional new roads and very rarely new rail. Crossrail and Thameslink are exceptions that took decades to get approved.
