Has anyone tried pitching high speed rail to the 65+ crowd like this before?

        I think so and to be fair, it was a BANGER.

    If you could get the over 65 set to realize the rail lines will help them get somewhere when their kid is at work, they might go for it.

    But I’m not sure.

      I wish we could normalize it everywhere. I think most people would like trains, but only if they didn’t have to also drive and park at a station, which is how so much of the country is set up now.

      Probably likely to get more riders than the Murder, She Wrote Express.

    It’s closed to being truly based. You just need to add the Mexican coast express down to the one in the Cancún Airport, and then you’re gold.

    Alternatively, you could build the sickest bridge known to man, but Cuba might take offense to that. Who knows.

        Naturally. We’d be able to defeat a lot of flying in the process. This is just becoming more based by the minute.
