To explain my question, and why I’m asking it:
I’ve had this debate in the past with someone who was anti-car but didn’t really know why other than that it was popular in his social circle.
I’m distinctly curious what a solution for unusual travel habits would be without cars.
My situation is thus; I rather frequently do cross-country, round trips. Simple enough, right? Well, it gets more complicated than that. I show dogs. I need to take myself, potentially a friend or two, and on average 4 dogs several hundred miles, along with all the equipment.
For a fun experiment, this is the details of the show that I’m currently planning this month:
- 4 hours from my house by car
- 2 humans, 4 dogs
- 10 36" dog crates
- 1 36" folding grooming table
- Extra equipment that would fill a large suitcase, roughly speaking.
- two small containers of clothing
- cooler of dog food (frozen)
- vault of dog food (kibble)
I drive a Honda CRV for reference, 31mpg average.

Trains don’t allow dogs as passengers :(
