Reviving this bitch.
Rather than HSR, it makes more sense to cut the amount of taxes airlines have to pay for domestic flights.
Cut the amount that goes to the government, which mostly can't be recouped in a ticket, and profitability goes up. Margins get larger and add-on prices can get factored in (assuming they cost less than any specific tax item).
Meanwhile, introduce GPS air traffic control and you have more planes landing and taking off, generating more fees, at better prices for the traveler.
HSR wouldn't stand a chance.
