Haunted Forrest 🌲 added,
Russia's passenger rail mode share is just 5%, lower than most of Western Europe and much lower than Japan (which is around 30%). USA? 0.3%
How about freight? Russia exceeds the USA in freight rail mode share (59% vs 44%), but carries a bit less in terms of total tonnage (1.2 billion vs 1.7 billion)
The Mississippi and Intracoastal Waterway systems are without compare in Russia, I bet
I don't think they have anything comparable to the Intracoastal Waterway, to be sure, but Russia was *built* on inland waterways
Trying to find raw numbers on Volga tonnage is hard to do at work, but if bet the volga-don-baltic system carries less than the IW-Mississippi-Great Lakes system
probably, yeah, but there are also probably fewer people living there (and this only serves to emphasize how unusual Russia's rail use is by US standards)
