High speed rail is worthless if you don’t have the local rail to support it. That’s where the most traffic occurs by far, with millions of passengers per day. Compare that with the capacity of a few dozen high speed trains and they’re a mere drop in the bucket when it comes to mass transit.
Iberia needs to keep up, damn it!
They make up for what they don’t have in volume by having crazy cheap and fast trains instead.
They also build them remarkably cheap as well. We should all be envious of Spain.

Spain has the second largest high speed rail network in the world. They’re doing alright.

Be that as it may, Spain is highly urban and are quite good at building things like Metros within their cities as well.
Seriously what are they even doing, Siesta?
