Aka how to turn a 2 hour flight from YVR to Portland into a 15 hour train ride because it stops in the middle a bunch of times. Or has to wait for its turn on a line.

Needs to build some dedicated tracks, Like the TGV from Paris to Marseille in France (3H04m for 536 miles)

When I lived in Downtown LA I would take the bus to SF because it was roughly the same total time with less chance of delay.

Connections from Seoul to nearby cities are now mostly trains that accelerate smoothly. The speedometer at the end of the car quickly reads 300 clicks. I can use my laptop unlike the Accela from Baltimore to DC.

Certainly agree for 1hr flights, but wonder if our air transport system could be better optimized for a speed advantage over rail. Check-in times could certainly be improved and I'm curious how travel times to an airport (vs a train station) net out for everyone in a metro area

It's a pity that high speed mag lev trains, hovercrafts - or similar tech, never took off - literally - as an alternative to ground-based & friction constrained modes of high speed travel..

airports are highly regulated. fewer regs might be enough to improve air travel times/experience to a point greater than rail/hyperloop.
