APTA: Americans would ride high-speed rail

摘要

According to a survey released by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), if high-speed rail were available today, two-thirds (63 percent) of Americans are likely to use high-speed trains and the percentage increases to 67 percent when respondents were informed of the costs and time-saving benefits of high-speed rail service. In the survey "High-Speed Rail in America 2015," conducted by Techno Metrica for APTA, the likelihood of respondents using highspeed rail for their work and leisure travel increases as they were informed that it will be less expensive than flying and that it will take less time than driving to their destination.
