High speed trains exist, just not in places like the USA. We could have more environmentally friendly coupled with similar time convenience. It's truly unfortunate that it's never been invested in, because its a viable and much less damaging alternative.

    I live in Germany, where high speed trains are the norm and traveling by train is pretty common. It's still much more expensive than flying. But at least it's getting faster and faster, to a point where it beats traveling by car or even plane. Munich to Berlin (600 km) in less than four hours, nothing can beat that.
