Planes are bad because you need to land at an airport and there aren’t airports everywhere.
Cars bad because you need to dig in order to make 20 lane wide highways.
I don’t need to be lectured by a guy with a bluecheck about poor economic decisions
When the concepts of scale and efficiency defy your understanding
If the paragon of poor economic choices is overtaking you economically, how truly below awful is your country doing?!
Every problem with rail this person lists is also a problem with every other form of transportation. You also have to lay roads, docks, or airports to get stuff where you’re going. Infrastructure has to be built unless you’re transporting stuff by donkey.
Rails are still less expensive to build and maintain. Railroads are something like 2/3 the cost of equivalent lengths of highway, and yet have greater cargo capacity and fuel efficiency.
