      We can! It will not come easily...it is ambitious goal, but worthy, and well within the realm of possibility. Let's go by train!https://twitter.com/dohertytjp/status/1004335260748926976 …

      After all, is America that much less dense than Wales or Scotland? @dohertytjp

      Population density relates aggregate population to aggregate area, which are both irrelevant to viability of rail in particular places within America

      True. But if Scotland can sustain (albeit with considerable subsidy) the network and service pattern it has, why can't the US east of the Mississippi sustain a similarly dense passenger network and service?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cjfTG8DbwA …

      Starting at regional scale is wrongheaded--rather than "US east of Mississippi" you want to start with "why doesn't NYC have good transit" which this video does not address (among other problems with it)

          Japan has excellent transit on the whole, but it is particularly excellent in Tokyo and Osaka areas, and quite sparse in eg Hokkaido or Chugoku. The cities subsidize the rest, in both Japan and UK (through fares, mostly, in Japan, and through taxes in UK)

          It doesn't. Actually NYC's wasn't THAT bad when I was last there (though it's a bit dilapidated). But yes, the NE corridor should be like the Tokaido line. But even the rest of the country should at least have what Scotland has.

          "What Scotland has" means one thing in Thurso and another in Falkirk though--which will necessarily be true if the USA ever gets its act together. I think we agree here, but are just emphasizing different things

          Of course, but even Thurso has four trains a day to Inverness.
