    ZRH-FCO: 430 mi / 1:30 by air, 540 mi / 8h by car
    SEA-DEN: 1024 / 2:45 mi by air, 1300 / 20h by car

    So I wouldn’t say it’s the same. And Switzerland-Milan is annoyingly slow (Milan-Rome is 300 mi in 3h, Milan-Zurich is 130 mi in 4h; the whole trip should be <5.)

      @scrubbles @Rentlar There’s really nowhere with continual 1000 mile as the crow flies HSR in the world aside from China maybe?

      DEN-SEA HSR would have little in the way of secondary markets. Boise and SLC I guess.
