Step 1: Nationalize the railroads. This has been done before; it was done temporarily during WWI. Let's do it again. Also bring back Conrail.
Step 2: Utilize existing railway equipment to bring back sleeper trains to more destinations around the US
Step 3: Massive new orders of locomotives and rolling stock; this will allow more frequent trains and better service
Step 4: Fix up local bus networks to be more frequent so that they connect to the stations
Step 5: Repair old infrastructure- Fix the bridges, replace outdated signals, fix up old lines and transit systems
Step 6: New infrastructure; Electrify rail lines across the US, build new high speed rail lines, bring back interurbans, add more tracks to existing lines, build more urban rail
In brief, how would you implement a suitable nationwide transit rail system in the US?
