Even China Does Intercity Transit Better than the U.S.
China plans to build a high-speed rail line connecting Beijing and Tianjin by 2007, according to a report in the ChinaDaily. The run will take approximately half an hour to cover a distance of about 85 miles. As a reminder, the current Washington to Baltimore commuter line takes 55 minutes to cover the 45 miles between those two cities -- and even the fast, direct Amtrak train takes about half an hour.

Yeah, but around here, you can have as many kids as you'd like. So I'd say it's a draw.
