Why, oh WHY do we not have a high end rail system that quite literally runs adjacent to all these gigantic highways?
They connect every major city, it seems like a no brainer.
National rail system. Part of the National Highway system.

It isn't a thing here because it isn't particularly desirable. Among other things, we have more faith in our ability to get ourselves places by land than we do in other people to do the same.
And the cost - again, due to the scale.
And, honestly, who in their right g.d. mind wants to be stuck on a fucking train with people?
