So yes in Ohio it probably will be underused, the only reason to have high speed in Ohio is to get from one side to the other while spending as little time as possible in Ohio.   |
First off Columbus inflates its city numbers and includes essentially all of Franklin county. Cleveland's metro at 2.9 million or so is much larger and is culturally the most important city in Ohio. (history, wealth, sports). Second, Ohio is the 7th moth populous state in the Union. Third, the 3C corridor is the largest population corridor in the US not to have passenger rail service.
Fourth, make fun of my state again and I will hack your hard drive.
