I mean, some of this is just silly and entirely based on the locations involved. For instance, a flight from Chicago to Florida is going to be cheaper and faster than Rail, and you’re not going to just hop off wherever the hell you want. And no you can’t just hop on the next one, you miss your train departure and you’re SOL.

I do also question the “safety” aspect. I’m pretty sure both trains and planes have extremely high safety rates, and are pretty much on par with each other.

Also… why is “on the ground” a bullet point? You’re on the ground 99.9% of your life, you telling me it’s not cool as shit to be flying through the air?

The US public transportation, especially the passenger rail network is fucking pathetic.

Yeah, but i can get shit faced at the airport and on the plane, but i do that in a train and people start throwing coins at me

More evidence Britain's the best country in the world.

Drinking on the train to go somewhere sporting, night out. Is a time honoured tradition. Wouldn't change that for all the Trumps in the world.

Crackheads will steal the copper from the rail and cause a 30 car derailment.

In case this is real: you realize that trains already exist, right? Crackheads don't "steal the copper from the rail", in part because the rails don't have copper (they're made of steel, the copper is in the overhead line), and in part because the rails are giant continuously-welded steel rails nailed to concrete sleepers; you can't just pick em up and walk off with em.
