None. Why would you think that? My guess is you're an American living nowhere near an urban rail system but I thought most people here would at least be passing familiar with modern trains. Even some American cities have them.

>modern trains. Even some American cities have them.

Which American cities have notable modern train systems? Not Portland, or NYC, or Washington DC.

What do you mean by notable?

Only that they are worthy of noting. If there is a modern system, but it happens to suck for some reason, you don't have to mention that one. So feel free to strike that "notable". Which American cities have modern train systems?

It's hard to say "system", but Seattle's just opened our second line, and we've got a couple in design as well.

Why the ad hominem?

I've lived and travelled in a ton of places. Trains in low density cities are simply not working well enough. I now prefer to live in exurb and drive everywhere. It's so good.

Pretty much by definition, yes.
