Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has said high-speed rail is set to become a major mode of transportation in the U.S. in the years to come.
High-speed rail was hailed as the future of transportation in the United States at a conference this week.There have been multiple proposals for high-speed rail in the United States over the years, but none have yet been built.Construction began last month on the county's first high-speed rail line, linking Las Vegas and southern California. The company building the route has predicted that trains will be running in time for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
And one of the things I really love is the thought that they're 2 and a half now, and if we hit our marks, they will never know a world without high-speed rail in the United States.'Newsweek has contacted Buttigieg for further comment via email.At the conference, House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said high-speed rail routes would also help solve problems to do with housing and other issues.
