      How about instead of proving your point by seeing if a wikipedia article exists with your search term as its title, you actually try to book a trip from one major city to another and see what that looks like

        1. I have taken an Amtrak train between Houston and Dallas and it sucked like all passenger rail sucks. Yes, even Japanese passenger rail sucks.

        2. Take the fucking L.

          I have no idea what your standards are if you think Japanese commuter rail sucks.

          I remember is was WORLD NEWS when a train was over a minute late. Meanwhile, the one time I tried Washington DC’s commuter rail (which I hear is one of the better US ones?), it was a little over 5 minutes behind schedule.

          Not to mention, I didn’t feel the need to shower after riding the Japan trains (not something I can say for any American train I’ve taken).

          Edit: fixing typo (‘an’ -> ‘any’ in my last sentence)

          Japanese passenger rail, by which assume you mean the slower trains and not shinkansen (because shinkansen is in another world of superior experience), is comfy as fuck and reasonably priced. As someone who rode Amtrak, you know neither of those are the case in the US.
