    Cars are incredibly inefficient at transporting groups of people long distances

    FTFY

    I’d love a legit train system to take me to locations across the state or country. But for running errands or local, day-to-day tasks, trains aren’t the answer.

        When it isn’t icy, rainy, or too hot, or you need to transport cargo, or need to be presentable when you arrive, or aren’t healthy enough…

        Wow, that’s a lot of caveats. I still end up biking a decent chunk, and travel with public transport a bit as well (thanks to student rebates), but my car is a frequently used necessity.

          I mean, a car wouldn’t help in that situation either, so…

      I have taken the tram for whatever I need short distance so far, it’s also free and goes from like behind my apartment to pretty much anywhere I would wanna go, including work. If I wanna visit my parents then yea, I take the train but I haven’t needed a car in years.
