I am talking about Europe now:
we need trains. We need to unify the rail systems (rail width and electrical tensions) and the ticket systems. Europe could be easily served using a network of night train routes.
I think there should be way more political discourse about rail in the EU, but, for example in Italy, airports have been used as electoral campaigning devices.
I just checked and I installed Signal from F-Droid.
