Why do trains in the US take so long?
#50
I agree with most of what has been posted.
The one thing I've always believed is no US public transportation project can
be accomplished economically due to:
  • Political Incompetency
  • Political Corruption
  • Outright lying to the public about cost & benefits (see phantom job creation)
  • Outdated construction technology
  • Political Corruption (Worth Repeating)
Without being specific, I've read about one 14-mile 'rail project' in the East that
would have cost almost half the final cost of the dual tube, 35.5-mile Gotthard Base Tunnel
under the Alps (world's longest railway and deepest traffic tunnel)!
And, it was mostly above ground :dunno:
