Yes, and from Annapolis, there is no serious time advantage to going to the airport. Allowing extra time for parking and check in, and assuming arrival at Kennedy, the train is faster,actually, since I am about 25 minutes from the New Carrollton station, right off the Beltway and Rte. 50. And yes, an inexpensive bullet train, assuming it were feasible, would be great. Getting to Boston in the time it now takes to get to New York would tip the balance towards the train. But I still doubt that passenger service will become economically viable outside of the Northeast, and I love to drive around the Washington area, over to the ocean, down Skyline Drive.......My main point is the one about density,though. You are right, feasibility of public transportation depends upon high concentrations of people, and most prefer the 'burbs......... |
