And the random acts of violence, piss, shit, semen, crazy people, junkies, homeless, and the countless people masturbating. Every second week another innocent person is pushed onto the New York City subway tracks. It’s so bad that people are hugging the wall now while they wait.
I love trains, but hate shitty trains. I’ll gladly take a 10 hour train ride instead of a 1 hour flight. But when tens are late, cancelled, delayed by priority cargo trains, etc, it makes me hate trains…
It doesn’t make me hate trains, it makes me hate the car and aviation industries for influencing governments and the general public.
In Canada trains suck in general because of all you mentioned, but I’m aware that it’s caused by putting all of our money into highways, airports and the aviation industry, rather than putting a single dollar into owning and building more tracks.
There was a time when it nearly went the other way, but people loved their cars too much to be able to see the future hellscape nearly 300 million cars on today’s roads would create
People really hate the idea of trains
Our rail system has been so terrible for so long that people are unable to even consider the possibility that it doesn’t have to be shit
Living in France and Belgium, I’d argue it’s not that bad. Is this the same “Our”?
I think theyre talking about the US.
Yeah people in the US tend to assume everything is about the US. Sometimes it’s good to remind them that other places exist and have internet.
“Our” doesn’t have to include everyone being addressed.
At the current rate of acquisition the current US president is attempting there may no longer be other countries, just more states
Then everyone can think that way
I’d wager racism and classism don’t help. “Imagine riding a train with a poor person./s”
imagine being so self-absorbed you look down on poor people
“Not hard. You use the poor as fuel, right?”
Nobody else got your joke but you make me laugh a little. Darrrrkkk lol

Heh.
Seems like society could do something to change that. But that would require human people to come before corporate profits.
Huh? Our rail system seems to be just fine. I’m not so hot about the new faster train to Turku though

What about a 5 hour blimp ride instead
