America would be so much better and easier to travel with high speed trains, but car industry, careless politics, and whatever else like this.
EU and Japan, I'm jealous. Taking a train from like Spain to Germany or Norway to go to a festival for a weekend and come back is mind blowing for me. Seeing a crowd of people in Japan in awe after seeing the fastest bullet train to date, I wish I can do that.
I can go to any music fest here and be back at work by Monday or maybe I just want to hang out in a city not my own far away for some time.
There are no direct trains from Germany to Spain anymore.
It's still good, but some stupid people at the EU (I like the EU, but they're dead wrong on this one) "liberated" the rail market, and introduced cOmpEtItiOn and now the state rail operators can't get direct subsidies anymore, and they cooperate less with each other
Had no idea, I was using loose examples, but I know Europeans can go just about where ever for a not a bad price. US can be the same, the closest we got is maybe up and down East and West coast. The speed rail from Dallas to Austin isn't never happening due to our dumb car culture, easly bribed politicians, and Even a spa company from I think Spain? Is building a huge spa right where the speed rail drop off is in Dallas. Maybe they will build anyways.
I hope that the EU comes to some senses on the Spain and Germany train situation.
