You ever drive through Disney World property? They have hundreds of thousands of people on the property every single day, yet there’s hardly ever any traffic on the property itself. They achieve this through free and robust public transportation that takes people between all of the hotels and the parks while penalizing drivers who don’t want to take it with large parking fees. Especially with buses taking people between the airport and Disney property, there’s hardly a reason for most people to rent a car. As a result, despite heavy traffic in the area surrounding Disney World, they’ve effectively beat traffic on the property itself, but clearly traffic is unbeatable with public transportation because the billionaire who owns a car company says it doesn’t work
Trains also suffer from traffic. Like you can’t enter a train that is full. Plus trains that don’t arrive on time and cause you to miss your appointment is similar to being stuck in traffic.
I wasn’t aware that multiple times a day hundreds of thousands of people come to a complete stop on the trains and move at less than 10mph for miles, where is that?
The US, where passenger trains have to wait for cargo trains. Since cargo trains have higher priority.
I’ve been in one of those trains that had to wait, and it was definitely frustrating. However, you are incorrect, passenger rail has priority. What rail companies have done, however, is to make their cargo trains too long to fit onto the pull off rails provided to them, meaning, despite the fact that they are legally obligated to allow the passenger trains to pass, functionally, they’ve bypassed that law and the federal government has put no effort into correcting that behavior.
Trenitalia would like to have a word with you
Like with any boss battle, you need to train
