@chartier@toot.cafe TBF, I-95 is 3,000 KM long. That is just one of the many interstates we have. America is big, and building high-speed rail across that many miles is an imminent domain nightmare. Look at all the problems CA have trying to build their high speed train

@chartier@toot.cafe I loved commuting on the CalTrain line to SF. Nice little walk from the apartment to the train, time to myself on the train where I'm not at home, not at work, not having to be ever on the lookout for the guy who's weaving through traffic while screaming into a cell phone and picking his nose. Was the best commute.

@chartier@toot.cafe My last big use of mass transit in the US was a 70/30 experience. It was always slower than just driving myself, but 70% of the time, it was a nice, relaxing experience where I could be taken places and not have to worry about it, and 30% a horrendeous experience where I regretted not taking my car.

@chartier@toot.cafe The difficulty with making a gas station sandwich is finding bread big enough.
