  Trains everywhere connecting the entire country is a very worthwhile goal for a country, regardless of profit motive. If we can see the benefit of doing that with roads, why can’t we see the benefit of doing that with rail?

  Trains being sold out days before is not a good sign, it means people are missing their appointmentd

    It means they need to run more trains.

    Sold out trains still sell standing tickets, which let you pick seats if available. I’ve seen old ladies choose to stand so they can all be in a group.
