Trains and subways in the U.S. are an order of magnitude more dangerous than best-in-world systems.

Underfunding?.
The bottleneck we have for doing high speed rail is not the trains, it’s the tracks. There are some really really bad curvy sections where they had to route the track around rich people’s communities. And we don’t have the signal infrastructure to deal with track congestion.
