High speed rail.

The fact is, airline travel is not the answer for _mass_ transportation.
That is why efficiency (hub and spokes) has collided fatally with practical
limits (airport capacity and weather).

The trouble is, we have been too short-sighted for too long to correct the
situation. The cost to create the infrastructure to support HSR would make
even a congressman blanche. So we are stuck with automobiles, which are
inneficient, and airlines, which are unreliable.

Fix the airlines? Not without building lots more hubs, perhaps connected by
rail. Who's going to pay for that, let alone get it past the NIMBYs?
