You need to understand that we Americans love our cars and have been carmaxxing for 100 years. We abandoned the passenger trains simply because we prefer driving. It's who we are. We don't give a damn about per-passenger efficiency or whatever other gay reason Euros like trains.

The American passenger rail system was a thing of beauty in its heyday, however, but the fact of the matter is that the personal automobile is a much more attractive form of travel. As soon as the interstates were built, it just didn't make sense any more to take the train.
@saveusculture Desegregation makes public transit untenable in the US for a multitude of reasons: 1) You can't share a train car with them 2) You can't live next door to them 3) You can't have them taking a train to your neighborhood
@saveusculture Trains are better I wish we as Americans would build some mother fucking high speed rail.
@saveusculture Why do we catch all this heat but Canada and Mexico get a pass?
