      u should do a thread on how over-land shipping works in japan im interested in if it differs very much from our trucking industry

      I'm curious about the differences but overwhelming majority of land freight in Japan is by truck, rail only accounts for 5% (abt the same % as Massachusetts)

      i suppose its a matter of land mass that matters as well... do you think reduction in car usage for commute/other purposes would necessarily entail a hit into the trucking industry, or no?

      I don't think improvements in rail quality and expansion of rail service would reduce car usage, or at least, not significantly--more likely that people would take more trips overall, so the *share* of car trips might go down without any real change in the *number* of them

      As for freight--it's mostly due to two factors: 1) the kind of goods being shipped and 2) the geography, specifically distance to navigable water Freight which is high value (per unit weight) & time sensitive will tend to go by truck or air--cheap heavy freight by rail or water

      Japan being an island, most of their heavy bulk freight can just go by sea, and the rest is generally cheaper and timelier by truck than by train. USA however has to move lots of very heavy stuff (eg coal, mostly mined in Wyoming) very long distances overland, so trains win out

      Er, maybe "win out" is the wrong word, since even on a national scale rail's mode share for freight isn't higher than other modes....but USA has a much higher freight mode share than most industrialized countries (this varies a LOT depending on where in USA you are)
