Oh boy...
A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let's explore the bad world of Cars!

In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
Lol I used to take Amtrak back and forth between Philly and DC. Once I decided to check out if an Acela ticket would be worth it - it was like three times the price and got there a whopping 10 minutes sooner.
The Acela is worth it going to NYC and further north. Every town in Connecticut apparently still has an Amtrak stop (which is cool, but goddamn). Compare the travel times of the Acela and Amtrak between DC and Boston.
