100m per kilometer is still *really* high compared to other countries.

Paywalls are brutal for anyone interested in reading more than a small handful of publications.

New York did much the same back in the early 1900s, without modern construction tech etc. Sure, but fixing a short section of guideway is way cheaper than tunneling a new line? Meh, plenty of Green Space there On the Western End it is an Ottawa style substandard light metro, that can...

This is all a bit simplistic though to be fair, if you look at percentage of freight traffic carried by rail and the value of freight traffic carried by rail (as a %) some European countries beat us.
