Heute gibt es wieder größeren Lesestoff als Missing Link von mir bei Heise Online. Ich gehe der Frage nach, wann gibt es in den USA echten Hochgeschwindigkeitsverkehr Verkehr. Das größte Potenzial sehe ich bei der Brightline West zwischen LA und Las Vegas. Der Rest sieht schlecht aus.

How much is your privacy worth? In the case of Brightline it’s worth $17.10. And you don’t get your privacy back. #brightline #privacy

#Brightline , the only privately run inter-city rail route in the United States that keeps getting handouts from government is in bad financial position.
They mainly offer service in Florida right now but are planning extension in California/Nevada
Turns out private rail might be hard to make money from, what a surprise.

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
In their moral justification, the argument of the lesser evil has played a prominent role. If you are confronted with two evils, thus the argument runs, it is your duty to opt for the lesser one, whereas it is irresponsible to refuse to choose altogether. […] Politically, the weakness of the argument has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget very quickly that they chose evil.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist

A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Categorizing is necessary for humans, but it becomes pathological when the category is seen as definitive, preventing people from considering the fuzziness of boundaries, let alone revising their categories.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist
The Black Swan, Part 1, ch. 1 “The Apprenticeship of an Empirical Skeptic” (2007)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/taleb-nassim-nichola…

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
It is not possible to lay down an inflexible rule as to when compromise is right and when wrong; when it is a sign of the highest statesmanship to temporize, and when it is merely a proof of weakness. Now and then one can stand uncompromisingly for a naked principle and force people up to it. This is always the attractive course; but in certain great crises it may be a very wrong course. Compromise, in the proper sense, merely means agreement; in the proper sense opportunism should merely mean doing the best possible with actual conditions as they exist.
A compromise which results in a half-step toward evil is all wrong, just as the opportunist who saves himself for the moment by adopting a policy which is fraught with future disaster is all wrong; but no less wrong is the attitude of those who will not come to an agreement through which, or will not follow the course by which, it is alone possible to accomplish practical results for good.Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)

The state of high-speed rail in the U.S., as told by the New York Times.
#Texas #Cascadia #Brightline #California
The reality: the only true HSR is the Acela, which tops out at 150 mph. That's just barely high-speed by international standards.

One year of Brightline service to Orlando, ridership up:

In den USA geht's gerade Schlag auf Schlag. Erst Caltrain im Valley, dann Microsoft mit Soundtransit und jetzt die Ankündigung, dass Siemens die Züge für Brightline West liefern wird.

2/2 I took the Brightline train for my 1st time from Miami to Orlando
Good:
-check in/security was quick & easy
-pretty smooth ride
-segments hit 125 mph speed
-decent legroom
-many usb ports
Bad:
-seats were uncomfortable
-windows were wrapped like a microwave, couldn’t enjoy scenery (I like to stare out the window when riding a train)

I like trains but I really don't get the Brightline Los Angeles-to-Las Vegas bullet train. I guess it was just not designed for me.

Also had a #brightline #train sighting in Ft Lauderdale.

Two fatal crossing crashes on the #Brightline in the last week. As we finally start building out passenger #rail in the U.S., we are going to have to educate car drivers not to cross when the gates are down. Simple impatience, and a certain "I go where I want" entitlement by drivers. Plus, our rail shouldn't be crossing any roadways anyway, but doing that is more expensive, and we don't seem to want to build it right.

Luckily premium service resumed so I’ve got a beer and pringles. Wasn’t the complete shambles experience. However there are definitely people standing that paid for premium cabin that didn’t get to enjoy it. I imagine the comps will be pretty generous #brightline #transit #trains

The Southern California-to-Las Vegas route makes total sense and involves no wishful thinking in order to be a resounding success.
