@kamihack odd, isn't it?
Every person from Costa Rica that has a chance to travel to Europe at some point goes like "trains are wonderful! How come we don't have them in Costa Rica?" Or even "public transport is wonderful! How come ours sucks?!?"
Our decision-makers travel to Europe way more often than the vast majority of the population. My guess has always been that they never use public transport of any kind while they are there. They fall back on renting cars, using taxis, and traveling by plane because they have this stupid ingrained notion that "public transport is for poor people."

@mem @kamihack Don't forget who ended ALL trains, I can't insult him enough. And later, who hacked a better train proect and did not gave alternatives. President Chaves. IN 2023 while in Spain we never drive a car. Buses (ALSA is so good), trams (from Alicante to Villaojoyosa). In Valencia we walked 17 km. at Turia. Sigh.
