20. Suggestions and comments:
It will be great as long as it’s safe and cost
efficient.
Make it cost effective, especially in the south.
people wont choose bullet trains over cars or
airplanes if it can’t compete economy.
I wish Houston will invest in one!
It is a great idea. It would reduce the traffic and
use of gasoline.
Might be really expensive but it is a great idea,
especially here in Houston.
Bullet Train Feasibility Survey
21. I think it is a good idea. The U.S.A lags behind a
number of developed countries when it comes to
traveling by trains.
Use solar power to generate electricity inside the
train.
I like the idea, I am just worried about the cost to
build it, and also what types of cities they would be
built in.
Have more space for baggage.
I really think bullet trains will make transportation
better.
Suggestions and comments:
22. Suggestions and comments:
Too expensive to be feasible in Houston.
If it were a nationwide project, it could be
succeeded. If it localized, its success depends on
commuters.
How would it effect the infrastructure of large cities.
Who would pay to build it?
Use nuclear power to operate the train.
We enjoy a great project from this in China!. Highly
recommended, safe, fast, and convenient.
23. Social aspect impact :
The survey aimed to focus on people’s point of view
About switching the transportation choice, and reduce
the use of gasoline.
The survey achieved to expand the knowledge of people
about making the environment greener by combining the
impact of energy usage, fuel choice, and transportation
Looking at the social satisfaction of such a project indicates
finding a long-term solution of the clean transition of
transportation.
