"The Japanese love cars, but they take trains because they have the best railway system in the world. And their system excels because of good public policy: business structure, land use rules, driving rules, superior models for privatization, and sound regulation have given Japan its outstanding railways."

@stefan I really enjoy watching POV videos from Japanese trains. There's one in particular that loops around Tokyo harbour, including crossing the Rainbow Bridge, which I would love to ride. Electric and fully automated, meaning you can sit right up front.
I've learned a lot by watching that sort of public transport video in other countries. I wish we could have nice things in the US.
