    Editor's Note: My edits were all made to keep the video on one, central topic by editing together relevant commentary from many parts of Hasan's streams to create a storyline that is still followable by the viewer. I also edited in commentary of my own in places, in addition to relevant external information that improves the viewing experience. A lot of edits were made for comedy purposes, or to enhance the comedic timing of certain beats, but never to misrepresent Hasan's point of view.

    My partner and I took an overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and back. We had two seats facing each other with a table to eat at or whatever. After sunset the staff came to ask if we wanted to convert our seats into our stacked bunks or for them to come back to do it later. We woke up about 45 minutes before arriving around sunrise. It was one of our favorite things we did in Thailand; all for about $30 each ticket.

    Nothing sadder than the railway decline that Ireland experienced (and other countries like the UK) because of neoliberal policies that sought to spend public money on creating new markets and jobs such as car dealerships and new roads with tarmac (owned by family members of Transport ministers) at the expense of underfunding or selling off "unprofitable" publicly owned services like railways.

      Same here in Brazil... I remember going on one of the last passenger train travels here in my city in the 90s, and a couple of years later it being announced that all passenger trains would be cancelled from then on... and then a few years ago they started building a new tram line and it doesn't even go through the old train line that still doesn't have that many things built in its place over 20 years later and could very well be used (only some parts of it are being used for the new line). And this new line is still incredibly small, it only connects like 3 cities so far while the old line connected the entire state.
      It's like "Well, it's the 90s and we won't need this old thing anymore" only to later go "Well, turns out that old thing was actually good so lets spend a lot of money to rebuild less than 1/20 of what the old thing was and call it a day"

      Who was your conservative transport minister who appointed Beeching? Marples was his name. His family owned the paving company that built the M1.
      How can you assert that nationalisation killed railways when your government poured billions into building motorways to supercharge its automotive industry?
      And don't you dare act the bollix like Clarkson and say nationalisation ruined Leyland motors either. That would be disingenuous given the long history of internal executive rivalry. And complete disregard for workers unions and R&D.

    To visit my girlfriend's family in China, we take a train from Beijing to Chengdu. It's less than 8 hours for a distance that's about the same as NYC to Tampa. That's about 125mph the whole way. The trains are very comfortable for a pretty affordable cost -- about $90. You'd pay more on tolls and gas driving that here, and you wouldn't have wifi or a cozy place to sleep. Wish we had better rails here.

    Overnight trains are also perfect for tourist and business people. Sure the plane is faster, but the whole experience will leave you destroyed on your first day. Everybody arrives on Sunday so that they can rest before Monday.
    Meanwhile, with an overnight train, you literally wake up from a bed, take a shower and put your clothes, and you are fresh and in the very center of the city to which you are going on Monday morning. Sure, you have spent 8 more hours in the train than in the plane, but those 8 hours were sleeping in a real bed.
    The experience of going on a train is SO much better than flying, especially if you are tall, you need to walk around to stretch your legs, etc.
    I wouldn't take it to go from Berlin to Beijing, but I would take it to go Madrid-Paris, for example. Hop in the train in the afternoon, read a bit, watch some shows, go to bed and sleep, arrive fresh in the morning for my conference.
    It is definitively something that everyone should try at least once in their lives.

      I took an overnight train (14 hours through 3 countries) on a regular seat, and aside from the pain in my butt from sitting down for so long, it was great. Seeing the sunrise over the ocean was awesome. It was also really cheap, like 65€ or smth.
      Also didn't get a lot of sleep, but others in the same car slept through the whole night, so that's just up to how well you can sleep without a bed.
      Would love to do it again, but in an actual sleeper seat.

Between Tokyo and Osaka, distance my be similar between LA and SF, train runs every 3 to 6 minutes in average, like a commuter train. Train is well competitive with airlines.

    I am originally from India living in the US. The Indian trains are way superior to Amtrak. Indian trains also cater to rich and the poor. There's General class (dirt cheap but its very crowded, no beds and untidy), Sleeper Class (doesn't have AC and kinda untidy), third AC, second AC and First AC. A 500+ mile journey costs less than 7-8 dollars in sleeper class, about 12-14 dollars in third AC, 25 for second AC and about 50 for first AC. I never had to take the first AC since Second AC is pretty great. The stations are pretty untidy and crowded but remember India is not a developed country and at least people can travel if they don't have a lot of money. There are a couple of luxury trains but I'm sure they are never used by locals, they are just for tourists.
