I'm driving around and I've been thinking about it a lot.
0:03
What is the biggest flaw with the transportation system in Atlanta and Los Angeles and New York?
0:10
Major cities around the U.S.
0:12
uh I know it varies a lot.
0:13
Um, for example, New York has a very robust subway system, and Atlanta we have Marta, but it kind of doesn't work the same.
0:21
And compared to our European counterparts that have a pretty seamless uh transportation rail system throughout connecting the entire EU.
0:29
Um, I feel like the United States is lagging behind them in that aspect.
0:34
And was just wondering what do y'all think?
0:36
Do y'all think that the United States could better boost their domestic transportation infrastructure?
0:41
Or is that something that because of our robust highway system that we're just gonna use that to our advantage?
0:47
Personally, I think that we need to adopt a better intercontinental railroad system that connects the entire US the same way that uh the Eurostar and the different railways in uh in Europe connect the entire uh continent together.

So I don't know, that's my take on it, but let me know what you think.
