>tfw if it weren't for GM America would have comfy trains all over
>I could take a train from my city to Chicago RIGHT NOW
FUCK
>>57980991
good trains are gross and for poor people
Don't you already have enough trains going on in your room at night to satisfy you, faggot?
>>57980991
trains are shit and black people will kill you on them
>>57980991
Nice meme trams were going out of business by 1918
>>57981061
Clearly you've never been to Europe. Stop being a stubborn little shit
>>57981110
Christ, how insecure must you be about your country that you get THIS triggered? Why can't Americans just admit something MIGHT be better in another country.
Glad they did good use of the autotransmission.
Ur welcome :^)
>>57981201
>implying poor Europeans don't use trains
Yeah, they are comfy )))
>>57981232
I understand why people hate Americans.
>>57980991
>not having your own 10/10 car to drive loved ones or friends to wherever you want to go
It's like you want to be a poor pleb eurotrash.
>>57981279
You can leave at anytime
>>57981201
>Clearly you've never been to Europe. Stop being a stubborn little shit
Yes I have. And like I said: poor people
here is the cuck >>57980991
>but I like spending money on tickets, car insurance, gas, parking, wrecks/damage, property tax etc etc etc
Nah trains suck desu!
>>57981288
Yeah, let me drive my car 3 hours to Chicago, pay for parking and drive back instead of just taking a train to and from. Bitch.
>>57981271
Always been curious about the Trans Siberian, i know it's a shit trip, but i always wanted to do anyway.
>tickling the others guy's feet
L-Lewd.
>>57981179
I've never seen anything like that happen on the light rail in my city. It was 99% just college students. Although maybe Phoenix is unique like that because the light rail is fucking pitiful in how much of the city it covers and ASU is probably the biggest reason people ride it in the first place.
>>57981404
Sounds fun. Your on your own schedule and can do what you want. Also where you at because their is a train that runs through Indiana to Chicago
>>57981404
>he's complaining about a short 3 hour road trip with his bro's or g/f
>implying he has any
And you called me a bitch, lol son you are THE bitch.
>>57981201
It's funny because the train you posted always smells like shit and instead of poor people you have annoying middle class faggots who bring their screaming children and small barking dogs on the train. Also because they know their clientele is these stupid faggots with more money than sense they charge you like 10 euro for a tiny cup of coffee.
>>57981390
This. My city has shit public transport, but I'm putting off buying a car for as long as possible because bus passes/the light rail is so much cheaper. Sometimes I even prefer the bus because I can play my 3DS/read books/browse the internet on my phone while driving a car is boring.
>>57981705
I've been on that train before and it was fine. The police came on the train and asked to see everyones passport, though, which was a bit weird.
Trains are nice.
What amerilards don't understand is that in Europe we have both good public transport AND good road infrastructure. So you can drive everywhere like an amerifat but you don't have to.
>>57981748
Sadly where I live I have no option of public transport so I'm a slave to the auto industry ;-;
>>57981803
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHY DID I HAVE TO LOOSE THE LOTTERY OF LIFE AND BE BORN HERE
>>57981803
And yet cars and fuel are 3x more expensive.
that's why you all drive literal econo-shitboxes around.
>>57981803
But if you let the poor people move around freely, won't they infest the nice areas? It seems way better to make it so you can't get around without a car, then make sure the poor people can't afford cars.
The issue with public transportation in America is the building it is a nightmare and I say this from reading up on shit.
>"here is the best path to serve the most citizens" - management
>BUT I DON'T WANT A TRAIN THERE - some city in the destination
>But it's in a place that isn't near residentials we've checked.
>NO NO NO NO -throws fit as they throw out nonsensical reasoning such as muh rapists

>But I still want access to it but in a suitable location but I won't tell :^). You are supposed to know it empathetically.
or
>"here is the best path to serve the most citizens" - mangement
>"I want this train to service my far off town that is very off course -mayor of bumfuck nowhere town
>"We can't it would fuck up the trip length and it would only service a very small town"
>mayor throws hissy fit and becomes as interruptive and disruptive as fuck.
Then there are cities like some anon lived in California like one county only being rich because it has industry located inside of it and all those companies that pay taxes want another train to come in too boost output but the county says no even if the vast majority of taxes are paid by said companies and the only reason the county is well off and another where the reason it didn't want a bustop in it's area was because rapists. Yup nothing else just rapists. It's cutting the nose to spite the face to say the least
>>57981803
This. I fucking hate living in America tbhonest. We're the richest country in the world, yet our standard of living is significantly lower than most Euros and our infrastructure is shit.
>>57981061
>trains are for poor people
Ebin
>>57981455
> missing out on this
>>57981390
Because a train will take you anywhere right?
Imagine for just a second you actually had a reason for leaving your house and had to go somewhere that wasn't a city? Do you hop on the train to rural bumblefuck? No, you're neet ass is literally confined to chicongo.
>B-buh muh comfy
>>57981950
>>57981964
>>57982052
Having a much higher population density really helps though. (Long distance) trains are probably not economically feasible in Murrica
And yeah that offsets the much higher gas prices too a little, we usually don't drive like 100km to work
>>57982027
Not owning a car over there isn't a100% you are doomed thing like it is in the the majority of the states.
>>57982052
>>57982052
Then leave.
>>57982052
Same desu. I want out.
>>57982279
There are bus services in a lot of places. Tbh i think trams would be cool but construction would be a bitch
>>57982052
wahhh wahhhhhhh wahhhhhhh. Still crying faggot? Did you put your fedora on for that post?
>>57982248
Get your common fiscal sense out of here.
If we had invested more in rail it would look more like Russia's Trans Siberian endeavor rather than Europe's or Japan's. We have high speed rail here too, especially through big cities like Chicongo and unsurprisingly- it's utter shit.
>>57981201
>why can't you admit that trains might be better
Because they aren't. Planes are cheaper and cars are more versatile. Trains are only cost effective in narrow situations which the US doesn't meet
>>57982626
>We have high speed rail here too, especially through big cities like Chicongo
what
There is nothing more pathetic than a self-hating American.
>>57980991
God bless GM
>>57982222
>i'll never have a Russian qt to cuddle while we cross the Siberia
FUCKING KILL ME.
>>57982687
He's a fat loser that doesn't have a car our live near Chicago. We have a lot of passenger train's here but they aren't high speed
>>57982754
>There is nothing more pathetic than a self-hating Person.
FTFY
These peole are the worst.
>>57982687
>>57982845
*or
>>57982896
That's not high speed rail
>>57982896
Amtrak isn't high speed at all. I took it once to Memphis and it was slower than driving
>>57982887
But Americans are especially bad- bad to the point where not even the European countries they profess their love for want them.
You still can, it's just slow and horrible.
>>57982754
What's self hating about pointing out flws in your country and ways it could be better? In fact it's pretty much patriotic.
>>57982995
Because they are really pathetic. My wife it's Danish and she can't stand then
>>57983042
Pls stick to /r/4chan in the future
>>57983110
I think it's pretty funny seeing them get told to fuck off by europeans
>>57983042
Because the flaws that you're pointing out are fucking stupid
>>57983042
Because you only whine and say shit like "i hate living here i wish it was more like how i picture Europe"
>>57982995
Self-haters here are worse because they hate on everything and i mean EVERYTHING.
>>57983042
Pointing out flaws is thing, going REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHY DO I HAVE TO LIVE IN AMERICA REEEEEEEEEEEEE
like this faggot:
>>57982052
>>57981950
is another.
the niggers don't seem to understand how fucking big america is. look at pennsylvania. you know, that tiny as a fuck state in the north east. that shitty little state is as big as great britain
putting down that much goddamn rail for people who already have cars is about as risky a proposition as you can make

>be going home to Chicago from college
>double decker bus usually takes 3 hours to get from the train station in Champaign ~150 miles to Union Station in Chicago
>decide to try the train one time
>amtrak somehow takes 40 minutes more to get there and an extra half hour to get through the maze of traintracks into Union Station itself
Wish we had some of those nice euro or jap high speed maglev trains desu
>>57982967
>I took it once to Memphis and it was slower than driving
So drive you neet retard.
>https://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=am%2FLayout&cid=1246041980246
I fucking hate trains- but the slowest amtrak trains average 90 mph with the fastest going 150. If you want to go any faster- fly.
>>57983224
You guys have them pretty bad i'll admit. Same with Russia, Poland and Argentina desu.
>>57983344
What makes you think I'm a neet. My wife and i needed to go to Mississippi and my car wouldn't make it.
>>57983395
I've heard people saying shit like our food it's worse than british. This one was IRL.
>>57983454
>What makes you think I'm a neet

trailer trash confirmed. sell your shit box and buy plane tickets. Also vote bernie for more free shit.
>>57983306
I grew up in Chicago and sometimes you'd see train autists taking pictures and fondling the trains
>>57983626
No actually i work in an office. That trip was when i was in college
>>57983639
For what purpose? They're pretty shit. The most that can be said is that they have decent legroom (planes are hell for people over 6ft). The design of the outside of the train looks like it was cutting edge a hundred years ago.
>>57983306
>Wish we had more shitty trains that cost more
Just take a fucking plane. Pic related.
>>57983803
They are train autists and like the freight trains. Literally saw a Brit masturbating to one once.
>>57984122
Disgusting. I always found the freight trains boring desu. If I was interested in any sort it would be a nice comfy passenger train.
>>57983344
