minus-squareScrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.techlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21arrow-down1·1 year agoI spent 2 hours going the 80 miles between Austin and San Antonio, average 40mph. For comparison, in the UK I can go between London and York, which is 200 miles - also in 2 hours, average 100mph. One of them has a good rail system. And I’m not even talking about high speed rail.
