fact check of this popular image: ❌ MISLEADING
the US map does NOT represent regional train lines, only interstate ones (everything Amtrak runs)
the Europe map includes both regional and international ones, which artifically inflates the perceived amount of train lines in Europe as compared to the American ones
the US train system definitely sucks dick and balls, but you don't need to share misleading maps to make that point
