回复 '无尘2023' 的评论 : 好像在中国120miles/hr速度是动车. 在美国算是“high speed” train 了. 要修建的Bright line west 从洛杉矶到拉斯维加斯速度可以到200miles/h。

比中国日本的高铁都慢,不过,有这条铁路两地交通更便利了。

回复 'elfie' 的评论 : thanks, driving a car is a better option for your family. For empty nesters and single person, a reliable high speed train ride might be more suitable for some midrange travels.

这个是不是不能算高铁啊,有一篇文章说为什么美国不会有高铁。

I'd never choose to ride on the train to get anywhere. First of all, after I get off the train there's no other option but rent a car. So why not drive my own vehicle? Secondly, the tickets. I got a family to go with, three children. Buying four to five tickets would be much more expensive than driving. And lastly, the three kids. I'll have to find ways to get them entertained during the train ride, which is harder than driving. They won't fall asleep like in a car ride. Personal vehicle is always the best option to travel with a family because it's cheaper and more versatile. I can stop for a pit stop and haul as much stuff as I want to. Or I can just keep going as long as I can till I get to the destination. I don't choose to take flights either because the overall costs are too high and it's not flexible.
