That US route is chosen very carefully, most of those 6 states have 7 hour routes entirely within them (and Michigan corner to corner is 10 lol)

I can drive for 16 hours and not leave my hometown if I drive slow enough

Meanwhile, the Canadians pull over after an 8-hour drive inside a single province of Ontario knowing they have two more days of this if they only drive 8 hours a day..

That same route is 5h49m by train btw

Though booking it on the day is kinda dumb expensive (>120€) but with current fuel prices prob cheaper anyway

US is roughly 48 driving hours, coast to coast.
