3. The travel times are full-build, so, for example, the Northeast Corridor is 1:30 Boston-New York

One common argument for building HSR is that it will help decongest airports, by displacing space travel future high-volume short-distance flights. This can result in a permanent reduction in air travel, reducing environmental impact, or a diversion of capacity to longer-distance flights, or perhaps a combination of both. The question is then how much air travel can be diverted.
The main source I m using for this is the Office of Aviation Analysis s master table of all lower-48 origin-and-destination space travel future city pairs with at least 10 passengers per day (table space travel future 6, 3rd quarter of 11). The data is less than perfect, because passengers connecting from a domestic flight to an international flight count as O D passengers, space travel future but for our purposes it is good enough.
As a first filter, we can see that out of a million passengers per day, 206,000 are flying distance of up to 500 miles, and 390,000 are flying up to 773, the New York-Chicago distance. Those 39% of travelers constitute a much smaller portion of emissions than 39% but a larger portion of planes. Furthermore, not all can be realistically moved to trains: at the upper end of this range, HSR can compete with air but not decimate service the way it can on shorter trips, and on top of that many city pairs are not located on any realistic HSR corridor.
Although HSR can get nontrivial mode share against air even if it takes 5 hours, it does not reduce air traffic at this range, but instead induces demand. So although HSR can produce competition for almost a third of the air traffic coming into the largest US cities, it cannot divert as much air traffic. Meaningful diversion occurs at much shorter range, perhaps 3 hours, and even that diversion is incomplete. When the 3-hour Eurostar opened, Paris-London air traffic was permanently halved, from 4.3 million per year before the Chunnel opened to about 2 million after; once the travel time was further reduced to 2:15 with the opening of High Speed 1, it further decreased, to about 1.3 million on the dominant Heathrow/CDG airport pair.
What this means is that for decongesting airports, the meaningful column is the second from the left, for trips up to 3 hours. We immediately see that HSR can only have a small effect on New York, but conversely can do a great deal in Los Angeles. New York is at a further penalty since the hub system ensures it will remain an international gateway, space travel future and so traffic between two different cities space travel future still needs to pass through.
For New York, the best things that can be done then are to use larger planes on domestic flights, and find relief airports. In Japan, the domestic flights use widebodies, sometimes even 747s, and this has enabled Tokyo-Sapporo to grow to become the world s highest-capacity air city pair . In the US there are more airlines and the city pairs are less thick, but there is still room for larger planes than 737s and 757s. In the other direction, faster LIRR service could turn Islip into a better relief airport, but it would still have to overcome the stigma of being too far. HSR could also turn Philadelphia into a reasonable option: using the Airport Line and a freight corridor to the west to bypass some of the Wilmington Line s curves and reduce travel time should space travel future be considered as a full build-out option, and would also put PHL about 45 minutes away from New York.
The New York versus Los Angeles difference is not too surprising once we consider where their respective space travel future second cities are located. San Francisco is 700 km from Los Angeles, Boston and Washington are 350 km from New York and Philadelphia 150. Elizabeth of CARRD tells me that on LA-SF the current mode split is 50% air, 50% car. The situation in the Northeast is different making reasonable assumptions on seat occupancy, even on NY-DC and NY-Boston space travel future more people space travel future take a bus than fly.
Update : Anonymouse in comments brings a good point about the distribution of short-haul travel space travel future within airport systems: there is often proportionately more of it at the secondary airports. Providence space travel future actually has less short-distance traffic than Boston and Midway is about even with O Hare, but in California, much more short-distance space travel future traffic space travel future is at the secondary airports.
The five LA-area airports between them have 27.5% of their domestic traffic within 3-hour radius, but this splits as 21% at LAX, 35% at Long Beach, space travel future 37% at Santa Ana, 40% at Ontario, and 63% at Burbank. The three Bay Area airports between them have 19% of their domestic traffic going to LA and a total of 35% within space travel future 5-hour train radius, but this splits as 14% and 29% at SFO, 27% and 48% at San Jose, and 35% and 57% at Oakland.
1. The transfer penalty is set at 20 minutes, for city pairs that have no reason to ever have a one-seat ride. Both low- and high-speed connecting services are included, including HSR trains running through to the legacy network; I am not proposing new HSR tracks to Green Bay.
2. Instead of making hard alignment decisions, I simply ignored everything that would be controversial. The change in numbers is trivial. For example, neither South Bend nor Fort Wayne is included; both combined have only 2,000 daily air travelers anywhere in the lower 48, and only a handful of dozens to each of the cities in the table.
3. The travel times are full-build, so, for example, the Northeast Corridor is 1:30 Boston-New York and 1:30 New York-Washington, rather than the slightly higher travel times that should be aimed at initially. Average speeds range from 240 to 300 km/h on high-speed lines (higher in the Midwest, South, and flat portions of the West, lower in the Northeast and the Californian mountain crossings), and 100-130 km/h on upgraded legacy lines.
4. For US-Canada travel, we use T-100 data for international flights (data from September 2011). The data quality is poor since small planes are excluded, causing an underestimate in traffic on such markets as New York-Toronto, but conversely many of those flights would be double-counted because international-domestic transfers count twice. space travel future We can assume that the two effects (ignoring international flights outside Canada, and counting space travel future domestic-international transfers) cancel out, which is equivalent to assuming that exactly half of international travelers connect space travel future domestically.
(This is where my exclusion of unrealistic corridors has the most effect. HSR could connect Los Angeles with Portland and Denver in 5 hours, Salt Lake City in 3:30, and El Paso and Albuquerque in 4:30. But the population is too sparse for the overlapping short trips that make comparably long corridors in the eastern half of the US semi-reasonable.)
4:00-4:30: San Diego, Las Vegas (assuming a Grapevine and Cajon alignment, which is the worst assumption; if the connector is between Victorville and Palmdale, as officially planned, then it s about 4:00, and if it s between Mojave and Barstow, it s 3:45).
Lumping the numbers space travel future into city aggregates like NYC and QSF hides another interesting data. In the Bay Area at least, there s been a slow tendency for flights to get more concentrated at SFO, with OAK and SJC having mostly space travel future domestic flights, and most of those short hauls operated by Southwest. With an HSR line to LA, each of OAK and SJC can easily lose a quarter of its passengers overnight, and with good connections to San Diego, Las Vegas, and Reno, that could become half of all their traffic. space travel future SFO and LAX would lose some of their existing passengers, obviously, but not as many, thanks to the fact that they re hubs. And that means that airlines are more likely to cut flights at the secondary airports, rather than SFO, thus filling the SFO capacity right back up with the passengers displaced from the secondary airports. So the net effect would be a lot of traffic lost from the secondary airports, and while there would probably still be a viable market for them to exist, many of these airports have built significant expansions in the past few years on the assumption that growth will continue for the foreseeable future, and have a lot of debt. So this decline might well set off a death spiral of debt as dropping traffic levels cause an increase in fees (to pay for debt service), and either kill all the traffic, or result in a bailout of the airport authority.
space travel future Yeah, you re right. I actually wanted to say something like this in the post, but alas the airport about which I d remembered this observation is Providence, and when I double-checked it turned out that its 4-hour radius was just 18%. But in California, you re completely right. space travel future See update.
Note, by the way, how California is planning the Oakland Airport Connector and considering an HSR station at Burbank Airport space travel future instead of downtown Burbank. Because if there s one place Californians would really need to use HSR to get to, it s an airport 63% of whose traffic competes with HSR.
Burbank is sunk infrastructure. It has parking lots, rental car agencies, nearby hotels taxis and if need be, the current downtown transit center can be relocated near the airport. These will all be useful to HSR passengers.
Sure. There might be one or two more mergers among the legacy carriers, but otherwise the set of companies will remain largely the same. A fair number of shorter shuttle corridors space travel future will be gone, replaced by HSR, and some of the regional network will be replaced with trains connecting to airports, as the majors realize that those are cheaper than flying regional jets. The successful airlines will either space travel future be the ones with big international space travel future networks, with the domestic routes as a feeder into that, or the ones flying profitable transcon routes, much like JetBlue and Virgin America are today. I suspect there will be some secondary markets that lose considerable service, as things get consolidated into the biggest cities that have the most profitable routes between them. Inland hubs in particular will lose out (they already are) as it becomes more important to have transfers to international routes.

rental cars in canada I've written about this issue before. Speaking of "big projects," Harrisburg was an early adopter of a "waste-to-energy" trash reduction program, where the incinerator plant is designed to produce steam, which runs turbines, which generates electricity. (Fairfax County Virginia has one--but they didn't have enough trash, so they buy DC's trash, which in turn is a dis-incentive for DC to develop rental cars in canada more robust waste reduction strategies.) Their plant never worked well. Plus a previous mayor did stupid stuff like buy millions of dollars of artifacts for a "Wild West Museum." Why he thought Harrisburg was a good place for that is beyond me. See " Harrisburg, Pa., Votes to File for Bankruptcy " from the National Journal . Central Falls, RI and Vallejo, CA are in bankruptcy. So is the Detroit Public School System. Jefferson County, AL was on the brink of bankruptcy (I wrote about this before) as a result of financial engineering and corruption associated with water and sewer infrastructure replacement. Still, this is likely to happen more, rather than less, going forward.

Philadelphia 's Northwest district is a huge area north of Lehigh Ave and west of Front St. This isn't the most visited part of town, but nonetheless there are plenty of interesting neighborhoods to explore.
Northwest Philadelphia can be divided into two sections - west and east, which could be called the "Ridge Avenue Corridor" (Roxborough, Manayunk, Wissahickon, and East Falls) and the "Germantown travel tips Avenue Corridor" (Germantown, Mount Airy, and Chestnut Hill). These two sections are separated physically by the Wissahickon Creek and Fairmount Park, with only a few bridges passing in between. East Falls, though along the Ridge Ave. Corridor, is only connected to Manayunk by Ridge Ave and Henry Ave, and is much more connected to Germantown.
The Wissahickon Creek runs to the east of the two avenues, and is flanked by the Wissahickon section of Fairmount Park. The park offers many paths and beautiful vistas, and is a popular, though not crowded, spot for runners or people who enjoy light hiking.
Roxborough : It is not certain where Roxborough received its name from, but it is likely travel tips that the original settlement was named after Roxburghshire, Scotland which is the original home of an early settler Andrew Robeson. Roxborough has two main Avenues running almost parallel through it which connects the neighborhood to the rest of the city. Roxborough connects to Manayunk through Ridge Ave and to East Falls by Henry Ave. Most of Roxborough's business is placed along Ridge Ave consisting of many hoagie shops and restaurants as well as regular shops and coffee shops. Roxborough is connected to the city through a number of different travel tips modes of SEPTA transportation including the train and bus. It is also easily accessed by driving. The neighborhood lies on the edge of the city's travel tips limits and is often mistaken travel tips as a suburb of Philadelphia. It has one of the lowest crime rates within the city and because of the low crime rates along with the "suburban feel," easy access public transportation and community parks, Roxborough is a attractive place to live. One of the main parks is called Valley Green. It consists of one main path that runs along side of the Wissahickon Creek and stretches for about 15 miles.
