    You don’t have to imagine because in Canada and the US, that’s exactly what happened with trains. Now the two countries are extremely car dependent and barely have any trains, despite the fact that trains are really great.

    And for a very recent example, there’s Elon Musk trying to prevent high speed rail with his incredibly dumb hyperloop or whatever they’re calling it. The freaking tunnel for cars that tries to poorly emulate a subway.

      You’re conflating two different things. Musk’s tunnels and the hyperloop are different ideas.

        Probably. I admittedly stopped caring about getting the names for Musk’s products right after it became clear that his ideas were all shit. Not gonna call Twitter “X” either.
