    We’re already paying to connect rural villages to infrastructure. Do you think connecting a rural village in the middle of nowhere to the street network is profitable? Of course it isn’t. Same for water, wastewater, electricity, and internet.

    Besides, a train station doesn’t have to be fancy. If you make it so that people can pay for their ticket on board of the train, all you need is a concrete platform. Relatively cheap, and last approximately forever.

        Tbh do you really need all of that at any train station? Now you could sell the tickets on a website or with a machine. Land yes, that’s true. Don’t actually need really any amenities although would be good of course. Even electricity barely needed if it’s day only. Seriously at the end of the day you dont even need a roof.
