Just build a fucking train, it's stupid that Denmark doesn't just have rail everywhere. DSB is a joke. Banedanmark is underfunded. Light rail doesn't go anywhere useful unless you live in Copenhagen. Intercity is way too expensive to matter unless you get discount tickets a month in advance. IC trains are so frequently not-running that it's become a major point in my buddys argument for working from home.
hmmm... surprising, US has similar issues for unsurprising reasons.
It's probably the exact same reasons, actually.
DSB is a joke, Banedanmark is a myth we are all controlled by something greater, TRAINS DNA of public infastructure
But in Merica Cars are democracy, Denmark shoils build an 80 lane highway
USA! USA! USA!
The continental US is roughly 2/3 the size of Europe. Comparing Denmark to it is nonsensical given the differences in size.
IDK if size really matters here. Connecting Chicago to Milwaukee (100mi) with HSR probably makes sense
there are many others too:
Chicago-Indianapolis (200mi)
Chicago-St Louis (300mi)
Chicago-Pittsburgh (500mi)
so many good connections
We have freight rail connecting that already. Size should matter here because the population densities are not the same.
passengers can't ride freight rail tho
That all depends on how cool the train crew are
