High-speed rail networks are fast train systems that connect major cities, providing a quick and efficient alternative to car and air travel. Proponents argue that it can reduce travel times, lower carbon emissions, and stimulate economic growth through improved connectivity. Opponents argue that it requires significant investment, may not attract enough users, and funds could be better used elsewhere.

Rail networks in general need investment. Especially since we can no longer rely on any airline to go when they say they will.
@B2QDW8W3wks3W
No, money for this better being redirected as funding towards improving current public transport infrastructure instead.
@B2CRG6D1mo1MO
Yes but have them go through regional centers that are suitable for urban and industrial development. This will help affordability for homes and businesses and decentralise employment opportunities
@9SB24SP6mos6MO
Yes, as long as they are environmentally friendly.
@9RZDKRX6mos6MO
They should invest in it themselves. Subsidies only increases the cost to 3rd parties aka childcare.
@9RTTQWK7mos7MO
Remove the red tape and regulation and allow the market to take care of it.
@9QZJSXK7mos7MO
High speed rail networks should be nationalised only.
