"Seems there are two high speed rail lines in the world that make money - and both of them are in Japan."

Isn't that the country where they have to hire workers specifically to cram as many passengers into the cars as possible?

Isn't that the country where women are now just starting to complain about all the creepy dudes that are copping feels while the women are pressed up against them in the cars?

If the only way to keep a train profitable is to cram them beyond safe/sane capacity then this is no form of transportation for the USA.

That is totally untrue........................the Women have been complaining about it for a very long time, it just that nobody listens to them, LOL.

In all seriousness, the idea behind high speed rail isn't all bad, its just bad for over there, because its not viable there. In some places, this could work, this, is not one of those places, and as a result its pure idiocy.

Its like the idea of using a fork, its a good and efficient way to eat, but its not effective with soup, california, is the kind of state, that would simply spend more money on forks then concede that kind of point.
