Iberia needs to keep up, damn it!
Spain has the second largest high speed rail network in the world. They're doing alright.
High speed rail is worthless if you don't have the local rail to support it. That's where the most traffic occurs by far, with millions of passengers per day. Compare that with the capacity of a few dozen high speed trains and they're a mere drop in the bucket when it comes to mass transit.
Be that as it may, Spain is highly urban and are quite good at building things like Metros within their cities as well.
So, then explain to me how long would it take by train from Bilbao to Vigo.
On that map above we can clearly see a train route. Can I take a train on it?
They make up for what they don't have in volume by having crazy cheap and fast trains instead.
They also build them remarkably cheap as well. We should all be envious of Spain.
Portugal not included on account of being an Eastern European country
Their trains quite simply are not as good as the ones in Spain.
Because they are actually an undercover Eastern European country
Seriously what are they even doing, Siesta?
