    hopefully it works better than california and UK high speed rail lol

    i have zero faith in any of the “countries” to deliver any public works projec on time, within budget and/or for it to actually work.

      Pretty much all public works projects go over budget. Pretty much all private private projects also go over budget. However, people only complain about public transit projects going over budget. There are some legitimate reasons for this, like lack of institutional knowledge, but I think people hyper-fixate on public transit while roads “just have to be built, whatever the cost.”
