asked:

how much money would it take to remove 2-4 lanes from every 6+ lane highway and replace them with trains. also do you think it'd be better to remove the outer lanes or the inner ones

answered:

Remove outer lanes first because that’s what takes up more usable land and I don’t know how much it would cost to replace lanes with trains but it would be cheaper than continually replacing Asphalt forever

Also this is important to consider
