Air travel really sucks when you are a 6'4" 285# man.
It is disgraceful that this country does not have an effective railway system. Trains are much more comfortable to travel in the planes. Plus, they are way more fuel efficient than planes.
The Chinese have built 26,000 miles of high speed rail and plan to have 43,000 miles by 2035
We have a whole 375 miles cleared for 100mph trains.
Interestingly it cost about 4 times as much per mile to build high speed rail in the US as it does in Europe to built high speed rail. This despite the fact that most of Europe has stronger unions and a 32 hour work week
