Yes, but quality first, then quantity!
Quality pays and within transports in particular. Goal is nearness!
Repairing of infrastructure, predictive, “optimal maintenance”, etc., regardless of now “big business”, still in no respect optimal, as simply Bottleneck of Industry…
(At ware owners supply chains, just risk of a risk means added costs.
Low risk is high quality!)
Weight wise railways has got the edge and for large scale feeding of ports it is the Alt. I, etc., etc.
