And yet we don't have true hsr in the northeast, where the big cities are...

or california. for.... some reason.

True, but the post is about trains being on schedule (or showing up at all), not about speed. I wasn't saying US trains service is as good as European.

Is this a “glass half full” thing? Can a non-existent train never be late or never be in time?

No, it's not a value judgement of any kind. Imagine that - just making an observation with no implications or underlying opinion to swipe left/right on. What a concept.

Yeah, I just see that said a lot and think its a bad excuse for having bad service.

Especially when we had much better service 100 years ago, with a fraction of the modern day population.

100 years ago was also before the era of profit hyper-optimization, which it turns out de-optimizes every other aspect of a thing.
