Definitely a bullshit excuse, the problem with trains in the US is that the ones we do have are far understaffed, under-prioritized, and sometimes unsafe.

With the amount of funding we put into roads of all types we could have potentially had a rail system as well-connected as Japan’s. Instead the rail system we do have is engineered to cater to freight and any passenger cars on the lines are deprioritized.
