Why do Americans hate rail transport?

>>507623334 (OP)
Trains can't get you pussy like my hot rod.

>>507623334 (OP)
we drive around to graze on corn syrup

trains are cool

It's pretty stupid, national security wise. Easy to bomb. Better use a plane.

You can answer most questions about America with two distinct events that occured via communist social engineering in the 1960s. The civil rights act and the hart-celler act.

We used to have fast electric passenger rail. We were once an early adopter and developer in rail technologies.

>>507623781
It's all coded by jeets and built by spics so we simply don't deserve nice things.

>>507623334 (OP)
Trains are cool but they’re not necessary anymore. They’re actually a hazard. I wish we would rip it all out.

>>507623334 (OP)
We have more rail transport than any other country. We move mountains of materials with them.

>>507623334 (OP)
Because democrats and their voters live among us

>>507623935
I don’t get the nigger argument here, like why would Trayshaniquious ever use trains, what the fuck would he visit? They don’t seem like the types who travel much.

>>507624005
I’m talking about passenger trains.

>>507623334 (OP)
They don't North America has something like twice the amount of track that Europe does, we just use it for freight instead of passengers, because density is low. There's no point in catching a train if you just need to rent a car when you arrive at your destination anyway.

People act like it's some big conspiracy or it's about train hate or something - it's not. Cars are just more convenient in low population density nations.

>>507625076
>Cars are just more convenient in low population density nations
This was all enabled by the car which was lobbied for by the auto industry. Many cities had street car networks before the car, but they were bought up and ran into the ground to make cars more appealing.

>>507625011
Why don't other countries use their rail lines for freight instead of moving a few people here to there. Seems incredibly wasteful and inefficient

>>507625527
That would still be limiting you to the areas around their route.

>>507623583
I bet she goes 400k miles before her next oil change.

>>507625527
Yes they were but even if those cities had a robust railcar and subway system, you'd still need a car if you ever left the city. Given that like 98% of the continent is not-city by land area, a huge portion of the population is still going to be completely dependant on cars to do anything outside of maybe their daily commute.

If anyone who doesn't live in an urban core needs to own a car anyway, it's very questionable how worthwhile it is to design anything other than urban cores around not-cars.

>>507625621
Who told you that? Rail is used for freight everywhere, especially for bulk cargo. But in Europe passenger rail is also popular.

>>507625011
>Trayshaniquious ever use trains, what the fuck would he visit?
Everyone's got somewhere to go anon. Please see the Daniel Penny case or basically any instance of public transportation in the US. They live in most urban centers and blight rail, busses, planes, etc. Normies call it black fatigue and it reached mainstream this year. Like people openly talk about this shit now.

>>507623334 (OP)
They don't believe in maintenance spending. They believe the invisible hands of freemarket protect them from accidents. So here is a typical American railway line. You would hate it too.

>>507626281
But that’s city public transport, I get that.
I kinda doubt ghetto apes ever travel outside their city and that they’d use trains out of all modes of transport.

>>507625056
Our cities are not walkable/traversable by public transport.
Aside from a few outliers like NYC and Boston, once you get to a population hub, life is pretty miserable without a car.
Even in those two cities, there are plenty of transit-starved areas that nobody worth listening to cares about.
Due to our love affair with the automobile, relatively young society, and rampant individualism, our cities are just too spread out. Meanwhile when in London or Paris, a lot of the time I just walk and don't even bother with the subway/metro/tube/underground.
Also, niggers.

>>507625768
God gave you legs, walk.

>>507626114
Inter-city rail is an option. Europe, China, and Japan are all good examples.

And yes, there will always be a need for cars. Nobody is proposing we rip up the roads. However, having them as the primary mode of transportation is prohibitively expensive and inefficient.

There are alternatives to spending 3 hours a day in traffic.

>>507623334 (OP)
>>507625056
not my problem

>>507626462
>>507626454
I missed a relevant point: rail travel will get you to the city, but then you're fucked.
There are commuter rail systems that feed into USA cities that have a decent public transit system, but you're not going city-to-city via rail.

>>507623334 (OP)
>Why do Americans hate rail transport?
Trains have always been associated with the civilised society.

>Inter-city rail is an option. Europe, China, and Japan are all good examples.
At our current density, not it really isn't at least as a broadly applicable solution. You're listing places that range from 2x to 20x the human density.
There are places here where it could work, say, the Eastern seaboard of the United States and the southern Ontario to Quebec corridor in Canada - but eventually you circle back around to the same issue that if anyone living there ever wants to go anywhere else in the nation, they need a car.

The cost is pretty prohibitive too. Like, Boston's big dig was ruinously expensive and we're talking about doing something at much greater scale than that in order to service a fraction of the population an alternative means of transit when we already have something that works. I think that if more cities want to start zoning with future transit improvements in mind that'd be great, but I don't think it makes much sense to start ripping and tearing existing infrastructure to try to force that transition to happen.

>>507623334 (OP)
It keeps killing my niggers

>>507623334 (OP)
Planes are faster and better. Or just fucking drive. If your country wasn't the size of a postage stamp you would realize that.

>>507625527
Many large cities still do, and if you ignore the niggers and homeless people they're fairly convenient... but you're still ultimately limited to being stuck in whatever major city you get dropped off in.

Only 30% of the population of the US lives in cities with population of 100K+ (about 350 cities in the US), compared to about 50% that lives in cities between 10-100K (about 3100 cities in the US), and another 20% that lives in cities with fewer than 10K people (about 16.5K cities).

>>507628028
So ignoring your racism that has no bearing on the topic, pretty much any city of any size can have rail infrastructure if planned properly. Again, many cities you would consider small today, like mine of ~60,000 today, had this before the car.

Again, having choice in how you transit your city is possible if we make the right choices at the municipal level.

>>507623935
The roads of the Roman Republic is how we do things around here. I reckon its time to colonize Europe and push aside them wild globalist injuns.

>>507623334 (OP)
i dont hate them i want them to load the rail cars up with filthy kikes like you and ram them straight into a foundry ladel

>>507623334 (OP)
that was something we did not build but the former people built before US

>>507628639
I doubt your city of 60,000 today was a population of 60,000 before the car, or that intracity rail would be nearly as feasible for transport of people in and out of and around the city center today as it was then.

I also suspect your city of 60,000 has a municipal bus system.

>>507629303
your cities have been retrofitted by people that did things during the 1800`s

>>507629747

ask my boy Terry A. Davis.

>>507624188
This is the only answer

>>507623334 (OP)
here we go this thread again

>>507630163
your types also destroyed a bunch of old structures and retrofitted them and isolated people in orphanages and that why in those old pictures not many people

>>507630520
what.

tf is this idiot zoomer kid word salad even supposed to mean BRUH FR FR

>>507630163
remember what your types did to all the old viaducts and windmills the wind catchers the pavement light the underground parts of old buildings your types wanted to hide from people retrofitting

>>507631630
bruh I am not a zoomer
fuck you

>>507631630
what I do not know you stupid fuck you tell me

>>507631630
fuck you
tell me about what you do
come on

>>507631630
bruh
little yuppie college boy

> crammed into a tin can with niggers
No thanks.

public infrastructure is communism
taxes should only exist to pay for our politicians, police and military

>>507625056
Public transport allows inner city niggers to easily reach White enclaves on the outskirts of cities
We oppose this out of self defense

>>507625011
They use anything that can help them scope out new victims to rob/rape/murder

We love rail transport, we just use it for freight instead of moving people. Cars and planes are what people prefer to move themselves around.

>>507626267
Europe trucks far more of their freight than the US.

>>507623334 (OP)
We don't. My company ships by rail. There's a train station two miles from hy house. I like hearing the tooting at night

Nigger gets on train/bus to nicer neighborhood, does noggery, rides train/bus/police car back

here is a map of northern virginia. I want tranniggers to show me how someone who lives where I placed the red dot is supposed to get to where I placed the yellow dot using only hypothetical trains, no cars. tell me exactly where the stations and lines would be and how you would get to and from each one.

>>507625056
who fucking cares? we fly planes and drive cars in the usa. trains are for cattle

>>507635831
I would do this:
Firstly I would bulldoze every single suburb in the area.
Secondly I would build up the main city and make it denser.
Thirdly I would triple the length of the DC metro and halve the waiting times (double the trains, but due to increased track length / # of lines it's actually like 6 times the amount of trains)
then you can drive or whatever, the amount of people taking trains just went up like x50

>>507635831
Ride a bicycle.

>>507623334 (OP)
Planes fly 600 miles per hour and cost the same, and gets you right to where you need to go. Most trips are at least 500-1500 miles in the US.

The alternative is Bus which is basically as effective as railroad.

More or less Railroad is an industrial era technology that's been rendered obsolete except for raw material (ore) transport.
