    Start by linking a city in Mexico with a smaller city in the US. The cities will prosper and other cities want to be connected.

    Don’t forget that local public transport is needed or you need parking space for many cheap rental cars next to the stations until self-driving cars are available.

      That’s actually brilliant.

      e: Is Canada already doing this? Iisn’t there public transport between Windsor and Detroit? I’m going to look into that.

        Please drop a quick note about your results.

        I would expect that the high in high-speed rail is necessary. Otherwise it’s not a connection of economically distinct zones. Additionally the economies are more similar so that there are fewer reasons for travel.
