. Not nessesarily bullet trains, but more along the lines of shuttle trains. Could have the sleek look of a bullet train except the speed would be more along the lines of say 75 to 80 miles per hour or so.. All depending a 100 mile per hour could be the case maybe as well.Well Disneyland/world isn't a very good example comparison; you're not talking about the safety issues of bullet trains and heavy traffic there.
As I understand your position, it is that bullet trains will be placed in the center median of highways, yes? What would happen to the bullet train when it hits a city? (You cannot be suggesting putting a bullet train through the centers of urban population? right?) If said train goes /around/ cities, then it could not really be used for transportation of say city workers - more along the lines of cross state travel yes? Who travel's from state to state? Tourists and freight? You'd have a system infrastructure similar to airports, shuttles and trucks to deliver the "product" to hotels or stores/wearhouse's within the urban centers. Then the question becomes, is this bullet train going to be faster or cheaper than airlines, or truckers/taxi drivers?
