With high speed rail, your commute could be at the top speed of a sport bike, and without the slowdowns of traffic. The travel time would be more predictable, and you have your attention available for other things during the ride.
Sure I’d love that. The chance of that happening for a rural area to cross states when my city got it’s first bus a couple years ago is unlikely to happen for at least a decade probably 3 with the crappy politics and the amount of trump supporters around here indicates they are very against it. People around here think their pickup trucks are better for the environment than an EV.
Meanwhile my state had somewhere around 30% spike in EVs last year and now is doing a yearly road EV tax since it has grown so much. We need more public teansit,but EV cars is not just a solution for car makers, it’s literally the only option especially for consumers in the near future, which we need to do change now and in the future not just hoping for public infrastructure to come that will let everyone travel anywhere.
