Haunted Forrest 🌲 added,
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)
