I heard the comment about the high speed rail, and growing up in Europe I saw how this transit system can affect rural and even suburban communities. I have 2 questions:
-Aren't you afraid this New transit system will disrupt small American communities and districts like Counties?
-The purpose of the High speed train is to bypass rural communitiesand suburban traffic, but isn't that the role of air travel which is taking it seems major proportions in the Americas.
