Daniel Hachbold @danielhachbold.bsky.social · 26/04/2026There is tons of domestic flights that don’t need to exist. The corridor has a significant population, and if we can move those people on the land for a similar trip time that would free up airports to focus on domestic flights out west or flights out of country. 110
Daniel Hachbold @danielhachbold.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Lot of people say why does it not stop in X Y Z town and have double the stops. If you can hit the major cities and do region trains or buses there that is slower than it can efficiently move people. Adding stops slows stuff down. I’ll be happy if and when shovels go in the ground. 010
