High speed trains aren't the only kind of train.

I've been to japan recently. I've seen with my own eyes what a good rail infrastructure is like.



Yes, but Japan's GDP is $3tn. Romania's is $200bn. And Romania's government is corrupt, not as corrupt as some Third World countries, but definitely way more corrupt compared to Western standards.

We need to learn to walk before we run.

And regarding high speed trains, for Romania that means 130 kmph :)


$200M???

I had to go look it up, it’s $200Bn! $200M shocked me and also didn’t at the same time, as I have been there and seen it for myself.


Fixed :)


Motorways are absolutely needed in a modern country. To suggest otherwise is wilfully ignorant.
