> Well, China has built a shit ton of high speed rail across their country. There is nothing preventing the US from doing just the same.
It’s been discussed many times. China simply does not have to deal with with unions, labour laws, land ownership and such. I don’t think we want to live in such system.
> A 300 km/h "classic" high speed rail like the German ICE will take 13h, but hey even that is manageable.
No, it won’t. There will be scheduled stops, weather, slow sections, accidents.
I used to take Cologne to Utrecht for 3 months once a week return travel. Only once I arrived in both directions on time.
