In addition to everything else, the experience is going to be like any other experience involving the general public in the US
It's going to suck after a while.
So while I think it would work, within reason and limits, the idea of adoption by everyone is going to be pretty dependent/contingent and could very well end up skewing for certain demographics, regions, etc. Existing train travel in the US already does.

the Texas rail grift looks to be continuing to grift
quote:
- President Joe Biden is seeking to revive interest in a plan to build the first high-speed rail in the U. S. using Japanese bullet trains, with sources saying he is likely to discuss the project with Japan's prime minister in Washington this week.
The leaders may publicly voice support for the multi-billion-dollar Texas project after Wednesday's talks, which have been partly overshadowed by U.S. opposition to another Japanese investment, Nippon Steel's planned purchase of U.S. Steel.
quote:
Support from the leaders could unlock new cash from the Federal Railroad Administration and other Department of Transportation funds.
But the project, estimated to cost between $25 billion and $30 billion, still faces potential hurdles in Texas and the U.S. Congress.
Biden's Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has voiced support for the plan.
"We believe in this," he said in an interview with NBC 5 on Sunday. "Obviously it has to turn into a more specific design and vision but everything I've seen makes me very excited."
