But what do we see from that legacy now?

It bothers me so much. I wanted to pay for a friend’s ticket to visit us. By train, it was $200, a 16hr trip, of which 2/3rds was by bus thanks to Amtrack’s garbage infrastructure/system.

By plane for the same trip, it was a $180, 2hr direct flight.

It’s so god damn ass backwards. Trains produce a fraction of the emissions of planes, so why are we ok with trains being uncompetitive?
