Rail doesn’t work to solve most transit issues. I say this as someone in the area of NJTransit. I know why SEPTA is able to cut 45% of their train service - it doesn’t do the job.We just need a lot more buses, nationwide.
SEPTA is complete trash compared to most European train systems and not something you should measure trains as a whole by. Literally the best train systems in the US still do not measure up to world standards and that is mostly intentional.
Honestly it’s kind of funny that the meme is how US neglects trains and then you disagree based on the fact that you’ve used trains in the US and they’ve been neglected.

Trains are faster and more efficient than buses.
You don’t need buses outside of low traffic areas.
