Compare travel times across similar distances by transit in other cities, your theory that we're some sort of outlier will be debunked.
How does that solve anything? If we are going to build rail out there, it better be as fast as possible, otherwise we will be spending piles of money for mostly empty trains, which will be a drain on our municipal budget forever.
