Wait, they are not even that expensive. As a multimillionaire, I’d build a long ass luxury train and travel around with that. You can do literally anything in a driving train and never have to wear any seat belt or fear turbulences.
I love trains and would rather use then over most options for non local travel but the trains here can be fucking dog shit and are massively over priced for the service…
To be fair, 1. Yes, it exists. 2. Please direct your anger towards the source of the problem. That being, I believe, neglect and under-funding. If these factors are at fault, then they also should get under scrutiny.
BTW, on a funny note, I’ve seen a video how in the Netherlands they’ve put a whole tunnel under a highway in a single night. We need dat type of skill - and yes, money - put to rail maintenance too!.
100% going to places like Japan and seeing how it could be with proper organisation and funding just makes it hit home how lack lustre it is here.
However at least it isn’t as dire as the US I guess!
