A few years ago I rode the KTX highspeed train from Seoul, South Korea to Daegu and Buson. It was amazing. Don’t believe the liars trying to discredit high speed rail. Other countries are decades ahead of North America.

The third-busiest domestic air route is Atlanta to Orlando. If high-speed rail connected the two, it could link them in 3 hours via Jacksonville, shorter than current TSA wait times. Just saying.

Welcome to Atlanta, where you need to arrive three hours early for a two hour flight.
