minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•8 months agoI needed to go to LA last year from Sacramento I could take: Amtrak: 8/9 hours for $150 per person, uncomfortable and a slave to the freight network (I’ve ridden Amtrak many times in my life) Drive a rental: 120 for the rental for the day + gas, but a 6 hour drive Drive my EV: Just the 20 or so bucks for fast charging a few times, maybe an 8 hour total trip Fly: 80 bucks per person round trip, sub 2 hours flight, 30 minutes pre flight, Uber to where I’m going for 10 bucks cuz its not far from LAX I REALLY wanted to take the train but my god
