I disagree Americans have a Plot against Public works. They have the biggest army in the world, the CIA, the NSA, the NASA, the NOAA... totally public.
I have lived in cities like Boston, Berlin, London and I believed I had seen crowded places. But living in big cities in China or Japan is another world.
Asia has an enormous population density, so trains(and bikes) make sense there. Now I live in Europe(already crowded place) and I feel a void of all this people everywhere.
Places like the US or Australia just have such low population density. They already need cars for everything they do so they are car centric, and distances are so big between cities that it makes sense to use planes instead of trains.
- darkmighty 11y agoYes but I believe it makes quite a bit of sense for some select areas. The problem is that trains seem to be a cultural shift, so building for those niches where it makes sense is going to be hard.
