on an unrelated note, Texas unveils their new gerrymandered districts
I spent 2 hours going the 80 miles between Austin and San Antonio, average 40mph. For comparison, in the UK I can go between London and York, which is 200 miles - also in 2 hours, average 100mph.
One of them has a good rail system.
And I’m not even talking about high speed rail.
Driving at 100mph?
Rail at 100mph - it’s in the comment.
Has been a thing since before WW2 by the looks of it.
The American mind cannot comprehend trains.
Not American:)
Trains.
A lot of those are toll roads so you get to pay to sit in traffic.
In Houston I often find the service streets are faster than the beltway.
I use Waze to navigate and usually follow its direction. It’s pretty aggressive about finding the best route and will take you on an adventure occasionally.
Is Waze functional again? I used it first several years until it started changing my destination without warning mid-route
Man, I haven’t been to Houston in years. That’s it. I just wanted to say I haven’t been to Houston in years, because of how good it feels.
That gauntlet to College Station.
Highway Six stops both ways!
Imagine just looking out your train window at all the stopped cars.
