The necessity for speed of those trains comes from the commodification of time in our lives ; the constraints of employment, implying only short times are available to "go somewhere", prevents the much more enriching travel.
These modes of transportation make travelling so boring that now televisions are put into the train to make the trip enjoyable.
HSTs, like motorways and airplanes, desertify the land between their ends, and they only allow travel between places that are essentially identical. From one big city to another, built around a similar CBD and similar suburbs... And an empty countryside in between. Un roi sans divertissement est un homme plein de misčres
