I wasn’t aware that multiple times a day hundreds of thousands of people come to a complete stop on the trains and move at less than 10pm for miles, where is that?

What if, instead of a train that can hold thousands of people and move them quickly and efficiently, we made a tunnel and had cars drive through it one at a time?

The US, where passenger trains have to wait for a cargo trains. Since cargo trains have higher priority.

I’ve been in one of those trains that had to wait, and it was definitely frustrating. However, you are incorrect, passenger rail has priority. What rail companies have done, however, is to make their cargo trains too long to fit onto the pull off rails provided to them, meaning, despite the fact that they are legally obligated to allow the passenger trains to pass, functionally, they’ve bypassed that law and the federal government has put no effort into correcting that behavior.

Almost any German train.

“Dear passengers, the reason we are currently going so slow is because the dispatcher of this area put a tram in front of us” (POV: you’re in an interregional train) (this has happened at least 10 times already)
