Same driver, 26 years apart in China.
Meanwhile, countries like Australia and the USA are in the same boat when it comes to trains. Rail doesn’t suit the interests of private trucking companies, airlines, and bus operators — so it’s been left to decay. When nations let big corporations call the shots on public infrastructure, everything starts to fall apart.
