Trains could do it better.

I'm honestly struggling to see how it could. I dunno what it is with people on Lemmy getting so hyper fixated on trains and thinking they're the solution to nearly every transport solution.

Trains are great for moving large amounts of people between big urban areas, but terrible for more point to point travel. Busses make more sense than trains in rural areas but cars will always be way more practical.

strughling to see

Read a history book, of you can't imagine.

disingenuous carbrain bullshit

The IRA were the only people in history who did anything to fix the world's infrastructure with any chance of working.
