Trains are a conservative mode of transportation. It was destroyed with the progressive and modern expansion of the car industry.

>Implying only conservative politicians hate public transportation.
Even Democratic California hate them since if you use them, you aren't paying the exorbitant tolls on the highways they (((maintain))) through the companies their families own.
In short, it's all about money, not what beliefs your corrupted elected leader have.

Conservatives rely on rural areas for votes and it is rural people who are most affected by high speed rail while only people who live in urban areas benefit

Any distance where high speed is justified should be flown.

Planes are a pain in the ass to get in and get out of thanks to safety shits.
It's also annoying when the brats cry out in fear due to the high pressure on their soft eardrums.
Trains are the vastly better experience.
