And if I ran the zoo, right after I made everybody move to studio apartments in urban hellholes, I'd build lots of supertrains. But the super part isn't that necessary. Get average speeds back up to what they were before most of our passenger rail system was dismantled and train travel becomes a pretty good option for distances under 400 miles or so.
