#HighSpeedRail in France literally deforms space: you can get from Paris to Marseille in 3 hours, but it takes another 3 hours to get from #Marseille to #Cannes
@jmaris I heard a hypothesis that there's a certain number of hours a journey can take that people are ok with, and spending money to make it shorter than that will not be rewarded, so the railways don't bother
#NAFO @jmaris@eupolicy.social@wolf480pl I think this is an oversimplified vision: by cutting journey times, people can to further.
@jmaris yeah, and it's cool when that happens.
The context in which I heard that hypothesis was going from Kraków to Gdańsk, which... well.. for many people, once you've reached the sea there's no point going further, the beach is right there.
But when there are places that are further, being able to go to them is certainly cool!
