I'd take this bet over building a highway any day.

absolutely, before moving for good, we traveled by train from Copenhagen down to Barcelona...it was an amazing trip.

Now we travel on high speed rails while enjoying the bar car (while someone else drives)

I'm in North America, and our highways are hell from about 7am to 7pm every day.
