Due to bureaucracy and red tape, it's very unlikely we see any fruit from these efforts until the 2030s if it all. I don't think Americans will really use this as car culture is too embedded in our nation. However, there needs to be a focus on urban public transportation like light rail and subways and renovating the systems we already have. Caltrain looks like it was built in the 70s.
Well it's not the car culture per se but rather our air culture. But then again even in Europe, Air travel is more more popular than rail.
Indeed, in Europe, it's even CHEAPER. Cheaper than the US.
If you go from Paris to Rome, you will pay 46 dollars going on Ryanair. Yes, I know, Ryanair is crap, but it's very cheap, and it's worth it for some.
Meanwhile you go from Sacramento to Los Angeles, and you pay like like 200 dollars for a flight. Hmm.........
Just paid $90 from Austin to San Francisco.
Could've paid another $20 from Houston to Oakland.
