We discovered air travel. It requires a minuscule amount of real estate, the noise problems are very isolated and planes are much faster. No, for intermediate distances, air is slower. You have to get through the airport, wait, delay, wait, get on board, wait possibly an hour to take off, land, etc. etc. For my job, I've found that anything that can be driven in four hours or less is quicker by car. Do you think a train station is any quicker? Wait until you have a 2 hour TSA check point delay there too. Yes, have you ever travelled via high speed rail in Europe? It's very efficient. The only reason train stations seem quick these days is there are not that many people boarding and security is virtually non-existant. See above. Most train passengers are commuters, no luggage and relatively few kids. Horse****! |
