Shocking map of Europe. You should be ashamed.

Comparing a single country to an entire continent is literally cringe, not gonna lie
Map is not very relevant – there is same black line regardless of one service daily or even weekly, or hourly.
lol. It’s crazy that people would be stupid enough to believe this.
CHOO CHOO mfs!
The actual map
[transit.land](https://transit.land/map)
The map is outdated. Still no LT/LV cross-border passenger service between Turmantas and Daugavpils.
Also no of it between Ukraine and Russia/Belarus.
How do we have that many train lines in Germany and yet our trains are the worst?
Those might be all of the Interstate lines but theres also state trains that arent pictured
Damn dog gotta spike the ball in the end zone (sobs into ice water)
Serious question: does anyone take the transcontinental trains in the US and Canada? I’d imagine it could be fun and picturesque but I’ve literally never heard of anyone doing it.
Stop sending this shit. It’s not even valid for any period of time.
We need oil price shocks that force people out of the cars for a while.
It’s because we Americans don’t like each other but love our cars.
Just shows how much the US is a 3rd world country.
Cars (more efficient) vs Trains (not as efficient)
USA while lacking in passenger trains, US rail companies have excellent cargo freight services. The U.S.’ national share of freight movement by rail is the highest in the world, more than doubling second-place Germany. It moves around 1/3 all US exports, 40% long distance cargo freight and ~28% total cargo freight movement in USA by ton-miles ((calculated by multiplying shipment weight in tons by the number of miles that it is transported) and American railroads move more than 5,000 ton-miles of freight per person per year. That’s compared to 500 ton-miles per person in Europe and less than 170 ton-miles per person in Japan.
US rail network is a beast, it simply fail miserably at moving people.
To be fair, we needed more trains some 85 years ago.
Dam. This sub really is just r/shitontheus lmao
I believe the real data more than this skeptical map, it’s too unconvincing without data…
European in the US for 25 years, never been on a train. They are more expensive than driving or even flying somewhere. Been on long haul buses and the people riding those are questionable to say the least. Very few people would use them if they actually built them for most parts of the country, culture is just different. In cities they would be popular but not across states
