      Even non-high-speed trains go faster than most car highways and don’t have to negotiate traffic.

          Sorry to hear neighbour. If it’s any consolation, on some of your highways, you can go hella fast.

          In Switzerland we don’t even have high-speed rail. We have at best pendular high-speedish trains but they are quite neat. We do pay a steep price for it but it beats being required to drive everywhere US-like (minus some exceptions).

            Yeah, your highways are not great. But I don’t really like to drive, so I’d prefer you trains. :) What use are high speed trains, if they are 2 hours late?
