    You're really not getting this, are you? If Florida is prime for intercity rail service, what does that make Kazakhstan? And if Kazakhstan can support intercity rail service despite hardly being "prime" for it, what's holding up, say, the Midwest?https://twitter.com/tonybalogna/status/1052607649525710849 …

    Florida is prime for intercity rail service due to its density and metro conglomeration. And is now developing it. But most of the US is not. Apples, oranges.

        Let's compare the two: Area: 1.1 million sq mi vs 751,000 sq mi Population: 18 million vs 68 million Density: 17/sq mi vs 91/sq mi Largest City: 1.8 million vs 2.7 million forgive me for not counting up every city in the midwest above 50,000 residents--I trust it's more than 32pic.twitter.com/G2HNjAFpPF

        Read "Throttling the Railroads" by Clarence B Carson. You will find your answer there.

        Because Florida has about 100 miles between major cities. Kazakhstan, about the same. South Dakota? 350 miles. No one is going to take a train that costs more, and is slower, to cover that distance. They don't do it in Asia, either. Check out busiest air routes in the world.

        People are taking Madrid Barcelona by train, which is also rougly 350 miles. Trains are destroying planes on that route.

        Madrid and Barcelona are two of the largest cities in the Europe. Only handful of US cities as large. Also note that air route is the 2nd busiest in Europe. Train only costs €32. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_passenger_air_routes …
