IMHO, the world should have a standardized transportation system and it should not be free. Every city should run on it so that every city would connect seamlessly. And people should make money from it, so that there will always be people willing to invest large parts of their lives working on improving it. More trafficking police asap, and with that done, smugglers should be run to ground and harshly punished. Something along the lines of 10 years in supermax with meal time being bobbing for apples in boiling acid. The developed world should have subways to every home and business. And the undeveloped world should be left the FUC alone. When they evolve beyond their stupid tribal methods of organization and draconian religious fantasies, we’ll welcome them with open arms. Until then, we should not pull the advanced parts of the world down to their level. You can pay $500,000 US for your part of the transportation system, this would pay for an subway rollout in three years. And while I’m on this rant, the USofA gave the world the Diesel-electric train, the model T and their blue prints. The rest of the world should shut the FUC up and not try to take it over. If they don’t like it, they should just close their ports and put up something of their own. With their own subway designs, their own trains, and build their own cars. I’m sorry, but it just makes me LOL. If this ever happened, can you imagine what would come to be in Iran? The trains would shut down several times a day for prayers. Visit a drug dealer and the train would kill you. Or what would the old USSR’s version of the roads have been like? Go to the wrong street and there would be a knock on the car door. Streets would take 30 years to build. What about some more advanced countries, steam engines and horses would be the standard so long as it was all supplied by in country industry. And every summer it would all shut down for three weeks. And lastly, what if Jay Gould and Jim Fisk had never taken the risk, and we were still using ferries and oxen. There would be a 100 train companies each serving 1/2% of the market on proprietary land and lots of train wrecks with the New York Central. Well perhaps not that bad, but you can bet that we would have a lot less than we have now and we would be paying a lot more for it.
