croatia has extremely poor rail infrastructure.

yes i know you took tour HRT pills today, good job

mass privatization since the 70s, and privatization will never in a million years benefit public utilities like transportation

that's why everyone relies so heavily on interstate highways, which are a public project

>>211966882
That rail is cargo only, pretty much. Goyim cannot use rail to move around. It’s for transporting consooooomer goods only.

STOP Americophobia

your continent is the size of texas
pipe down, europoor.

>>211966931
you realize going from california to iowa is the same distance as paris to moscow? why would americans want to sit on a 24+ hour train ride when we can just fly or drive our comfy personal cars instead.

>>211967329
No, put Texas itself is twice as big as Germany

>>211966959
America, the land of freedom. Except freedom of choosing your own mode of transportation.

>>211967355
That’s an extreme case. How about going from NYC to DC? Do you really need a plane for that?

>>211967370
>having your own comfortable, customizable car that you own is less freedom than packing into government sanctioned ZogRail© and sitting shoulder to shoulder with reeking african immigrants

the yuro mind is fascinating

The Northeast is famous for its Northeast Corridor, if you weren't a retarded redditor you would know that

>>211966516 (OP)
Americans have no sense of pride in infrastructure. It's actually the opposite, we get upset when we see rails, good roads, or bike lanes because muh taxes should go to Israel instead.

>>211967450
>going in debt to purchase a depreciating asset that losses half it's value after driven off the lot just so Jewish investors can earn corporate dividends is freedom
Why are chuds so soulless?

In the US, a passenger rail system would just be a high-speed groid delivery service. Nobody wants that. Only poor people use public transport in the US. You'd have to be desperate to put yourself in close proximity to groids and drug addicts.

>>211967402
I agree with your point but the upper Atlantic is actually decently connected (by American standards).

knock yourself out, but we don't have to ride the train because we aren't poor like you

Do you seriously think that our taxes SHOULDN'T go to Israel?

>>211967541
amtrak looks like something hobos would use. This is an ICE train for comparison.

>>211967546
nigga, americans can ride busses or trains if they want. you're literally brain fried by reddit if you think that doesn't exist here.

we just choose NOT to do that because we aren't broke niggers like you.

all yanks should be turned into compost

Nice “choice”.

>doesn't even deny that he's Jewish
jeez, it's almost like Jews have a vested interest in the US not investing in infrastructure so that they can receive their gibs...

>>211967706
I don’t have one. I don’t need it because I live in a country with freedom of choice. Problem?

Around 2500€/mo before tax.

What's insane about this? It serves Madison and the main suburbs
The city is very well known for being bikeable and transit friendly

>>211968125
Good for you. You still have less choice in life than I do. You know, America really isn’t a nation. People in a nation care about the well-being of that nation. People in America only care about themselves. So in a conversation about public infrastructure and how it can benefit the people of a nation, the American inevitably short circuits and brings in his personal wealth. The thought of other people living by his side never enters his vacuous golem head.

>>211968141
It doesn’t cover like 90% of suburbs. Oh, you live in the southwestern corner? Get fucked, bud.

>>211967546
I’m not riding public transportation with druggies and blacks, Shlomostein

>>211968227
bro, you probably have 15% or more of your poverty tier salary taken by your government to subsidize nigger and arab immigrants and you're calling me a golem.

you need to snap out of whatever programming they gave you in school. open your mind to the possibility that some people have the FREEDOM to own posessions and have money.

>>211968386
The whole point of this thread is that you have no other choice. In civilized countries, you can have a comfy ride in the first class car of an ICE train even if you don’t own a car. No druggies or blacks involved. But something like this is not possible in America. You would choke on a penny before giving it for public welfare. Who’s the Jew here?

There is no demand for a consumer rail system here
I don't understand why euros don't get it
We like driving our cars

>>211968419
Yeah, and the rest goes on to subsidize public infrastructure. Would I rather have this deal or live in a country where I have no choice? I prefer the former desu. I don’t care about a bazillion dollars. My salary is well enough my needs. My rent is like 600€/mo.

>>211967402
that's literally the only part of the country we DO have reliable trains for lol

>>211968638
Amtrak? Consult >>211967607.

>>211968533
you can stop saying your little choice thing already, there are busses in every city, metros in all big cities, and train routes across the entire country. we just don't use them because we have money.

>b-b-but the train seats are cleaner on the german tra-

good. my car is cleaner than the train you ride on.

Why do Europeans never ask themselves the question that when cars are available, people on average prefer cars over trains?

>>211968482
>There is no demand
Of course there isn't because there's no need to after the successful brainwashing campaigns your local oil and car lobbyists brought on to your forefathers and their offsprings afterwards

>>211968668
>buses
shit connections, filled with druggies by your admission
>trains
looks like something out of Egypt or some shit, not a first world country

So yeah, technically you do. It ain’t much of a choice because the moment you can afford a car, you buy it. If you give me a lump of cash now, I would never even think of spending it on a car. It would literally collect dust in the underground parking I’d have to pay 60€/mo for because it’s less of a hassle to just take the S-Bahn train to downtown and not have to deal with parking there. I live in Frankfurt if you’re wondering.

why are they like this?

There is a train for that, its called Acela and its pretty nice

>>211968862
Very rare outlier =/= average American. New york city is essentially a whole different country than the rest

>>211968962
This is a town with like 500 people with a train connection through it.

Have you seen what the North East looks like along the rails ?

I can’t wait to spend 38 hours on a high speed train instead of taking a 6 hour flight.
Thanks libtards

Your country is half the size of Texas, retard

You don't need to announce what your flag already represents, mutt

>>211968272
This is just BRT, you take the bus to the BRT which is a faster bus with less stops

>>211968988

American education, everyone. Don’t look up Iceland’s population density.

>>211969239
Playing semantics won't change the fact that the whole Tri AState Area is NYC by default to most of the world.

I got Stockholm Syndrome'd into liking the Houston Metro

>>211969347
I'm not even going to respond to this retardation

>>211969239
Technically New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut are all like a European or Asian country when it comes to trains together but they are the only states in the country like that. That’s why consider the tristate area to be its own region as opposed to considering Connecticut part of New England . It’s also why I’d also encourage Europeans and Americans to immigrate there if they want to come here, politics or taxes aside.

>>211969511
This is like elementary school curriculum. Go draw some water out of the ocean with your glass. The glass is tiny compared to the ocean. The mass density of water in your glass is the same as mass density of water in the ocean however. It doesn’t take an Einstein to figure that one out.

>>211966797
My country went even dumber in the 90s and the retards privatized our equivalent of Amtrak in a bunch of unprofitable little companies that left the lines to rust

Why are you worried about foreign rail infrastructure...? Is this the kind of thing you're thinking about all day...?

>>211969815

Rail isn't even an artifact of cultural interest.

>>211970121
trains are like the biggest autism interest

>>211970121
Not /his/ doe.

>>211970225
I don't get it. There's no substance to it. What's the point of memorizing catalogs of facts about tools? What do you get out of it? Is it edifying in some way?

>>211970363
trains are cool imo because the underlying principles are really simple but it is still extremely complex system where a lot of things need to be coordinated together in an exact way otherwise the problems get out of control really quick
i agree that train autists tend to be really obnoxious though. for some reason plane and military autists are much nicer
