It's still crazy to me that some nowhere country like hungary has better passenger rail than the US
Uzbekistan has more electrified railways than the entirety of USA.
Hungary? Why don't they get something to eat
The destruction of rail infrastructure in the US is a deliberate political project, just as it's a deliberate political project in Germany to at least make sure that trains aren't competitive with cars for most situations.
Making sure the trains are never on time is actually antifascist praxis. /s
the trains have never been on time, but they also took the 9€ ticket from us
It's so cool that they are now spending about as much money to bring down fuel prices by like 20% for 2 months instead of ticket prices down by 90% for a year.
I was going to say that Hungary probably has a higher highway density than most of the US too but no that's mostly on par
