Within some cities it can be good, but overall it's awful. There is absolutely no reason for our passenger rail service to be as dreadful as it is.
"It's too big" is the worst excuse thrown out to justify the over reliance on personal vehicles
That excuse becomes even more ridiculous when you see just how much high speed rail China has built over the last 10-15 years, and China is about the same size as the continental US with just as much if not more difficult terrain to build on.
