It’s high speed for the US. It was a comfotrable ride. It wasn’t intended to be a comparison to other countries.

This is a race to the bottom. The rest of the world exists and lagging in infrastructure has practical impacts including apparently having no frame of reference to how harsh and noisy "high speed" trains are in the US.

You realize that we can understand there are better ways to do things and still enjoy the improvements you do have, right? Part of the reason we’re having this discussion at all is improving the system.

Welcome to Lemmy. Inventing imaginary arguments with others is what this place is all about 🥰

I know. I have been looking forward to the new Avelia Liberty for years, but without dedicated tracks the service will continue to be unreliable and unpleasant. It is not like it is cheap.
