@sun @ignaloidas yeah the japan model of privatization is notably region-based rather than "big entity that does it all" and has a few other special attributes that makes it mostly work out
you'll note that private/public are a moot concern under direction action, since the distinction isn't as strong as under the current sociopolitical model (+ profit motive is significantly reduced or eliminated which further messes with the distinction)

@toast @ignaloidas I agree with ignaloidas though that if you duplicated tracks everywhere it would be crazy but I don't think that seriously was gonna happen anyway.

@sun @toast @ignaloidas that's literally what happens in japan

@sun @ignaloidas I mean the concept is blatantly ridiculous in that: how would it happen?
if local people pick where to run the tracks, they have no reason to duplicate them all over, which is essentially what I'm saying here
you might end up with some parallel lines that are a few hundred km apart but those are desirable anyway
