The demand is and was here for quite a few years. The problem is that it's a major capital infrastructure project that requires serious commitment from multiple levels of government. And you can be sure that there will be opposition to it. It would require someone like DJT to get this done (or BHO with a commitment like he had to his ACA).

The second sentence makes no sense. I can't see how the Canadian border will open before significant progress in testing/vaccine/medication. USA will never eradicate it and Canada still might.

Unless the politicians get their act together on real stimulus with a major infrastructure upgrade which will include high speed (as in bullet trains) rail.

For all US passenger rail to be replaced by high-speed rail, we’d need quadrillions of dollars, and it would still finish late and over budget.

It wasn't officially announced yet that they are extending the border closing.

I think travel is picking up. Flights to Florida next few days show Y0 J0.

UA90 next week Monday and Thursday are almost sold out in J. With Tuesday showing J0!

The real question is how long can Israel hold out with the current policies?

They really rely on the tourism industry for their economy.

Maybe they'll start processing passport applications again soon.
I can't figure why in the world they can't do it now.

Why not?
This way as soon as international travel opens up people can fly immediately.
