      It’s cool and all, but trains have fixed routes that can’t take you almost everywhere. Of course I’d prefer trains over highways, just stating the current fact. Take for example every city I’ve lived in Mexico: trains never were an option to travel between cities. That’s changing, fortunately.

      PEVs are still not very common around here, but that answers some questions. Thanks for your reply.

        Trains can take you most places and busses will take you pretty much anywhere trains don’t. Taxis fill the gap on everything else.

        Just go travel somewhere like China or Japan or a lot of Europe and you’ll see for yourself.

        sensible places have enough railways that trains can practically take you everywhere, used to be that here in sweden we had railways even to teensy tiny villages a lot of the time.
