What is the joke here, friend? There are indeed choo-choos in the Americas..
Amtrack?
Plenty of US cities have non-Amtrak trains…
Amtrack is more regional than in-city public transportation
Most of the big cities have light rails and/or subways and/or Amtrak service.
Our train lines are just criminally slow. I used to live on a light rail line and on the far side of the Lightroom line was my work. I could drive 30 minutes each way everyday, or I could spend almost 2 hours riding the train over the same route.
Indeed!
