    I’m usually with someone else switching out or just listening to something I’ve already seen that’s dialogue heavy. And I always have a 5G signal in the car. You have to pay for wifi on the train and it’s slow af

      Paying for WiFi sucks. At least in my country pretty much all trains have WiFi. Though if you have 5g in the car you should be able to get it on the train too (at least everywhere the car would). They’re also faster for all but the longest journeys (wish they were cheaper though)

        And my point is here they’re more expensive and slower so that’s why people don’t take them.

        Does Eurpose use busses, because we have many more travellers take greyhound than Amtrak.

          I personally haven’t taken amtrak or via (I’m guessing your in us or canada) i don’t consider traveling on a train wasted time. I can sit and read (i get car sick), i can do work, charge my laptop, use on board Internet or 5g. I can also get a night train and sleep for the journey. America was built by the railways, there is no reason they can’t make a return.
