In Asia it’s 4 hours for major hubs but that’s with 1-3 quick stops. I think it’s fine and adds to economy diversification from just coasts to inner America

Additionally, back to “last mile”, lots of these European cities are extremely walkable, not just in infrastructure but climate-wise. Imagine taking a main line train to a local metro train to get within 6-4 blocks of your destination in San Antonio in mid July carrying your bag or brief case or whatever. You’d be soaked by the time you made the first block.

Maybe.
But what good is 2 hours for Chicago to NYC if you live in Cincy or Indianapolis and have to drive to Chicago to board the train?
