We can’t let perfect be the enemy of ‘good’ or even ‘better than what we have now’. Yeah, I’d prefer trains. Trains aren’t practical where I am, because the population density is far too low. Even buses aren’t practical. OTOH, building out the light/consumer rail and bus systems in the nearest city would be fantastic.
Okay. Now, compare trains to ICE cars.
