Well we missed the boat on Mass transit or regular train service connecting cities and small towns, so now all we have is high gas, and unsafe airplanes. Imagine what could have been, only Dayton, Ohio was smart enought o keep the electric trolleys. I love my car, but would prefer train travel on long hauls. Not much to see up at 30,000 ft.

We destroyed our train system in this country. We need to look at the Japanese and put in something like a bullet train system (新幹線 - shinkansen). We did a train from Tokyo to Kyoto - almost 300 miles, took a little bit more than 2 hours to make the trip, no security to deal with - TSA, no ID check, etc.

To build anything in this country takes so much bureaucracy - beyond the design & building.
