Hey guys -
Im new here and I have a question regarding an idea that I can not get out of my head. I love traveling but I hate flying (mainly due to the costs and available times). One day I thought to myself, "It would be nice to travel from major city to major city via another, easier method of travel other than flight." Then something else came to mind, a mass transporatation system underground that traveled as fast as a plane traveled or even faster which was able to carry passengers from major city to major city. For instance, Houston, TX to Chicago, IL is roughly 1100 miles. Traveling at 700 mi./hr., its about an hour and a half ride. That would be nice to do so while traveling on or underground. So, my question is this - is this feasible? Is it realistically possible to construct a mass underground transportation system that connects all major cities for travel? I appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thanks.
