Need to pick your battles tbh.

Trump admin cuts $60M for bullet train. Can railway from Dallas to Houston still happen?

The high-speed rail project intended to connect Houston and Dallas in just 90 minutes.

We literally cannot build trains in this country because we self-sabotage every opportunity.

Houston is getting $4B to redo I-45 but can't be spared $60M on state mandated planning for an already established rail route.

This isn't a question of abolishing cars. It's a question of abolishing trains which we appear dead set on doing.
