    I didn’t stop at the first line. None of your suggestions encompasses truly rural areas, which is a large amount of the land area of the US. Take a trip out of your metro area some time.

      You think I haven’t?

      You also realize the vast majority of people don’t live in rural areas, right?

      Land doesn’t ride in cars.

      Additionally, a train center can be built in a rural area (or can use Amtrak / freight trail that’s already there), to then be used by regional trains.

      Like, the options aren’t just a possibility, they’re already here!

      Sounds more like you think cars are the superior form of transit, and I can’t dissuade you from thinking that, even tho it’s entirely wrong.

          I’ve traveled across the entirety of the US. Even been to Alaska. I’m not ignorant of what you think I am.

          You’re a lost cause, and I will waste no more of my time on you.

            If you’ve traveled that far then you SHOULD be aware that the solutions you mentioned won’t work in rural areas. It boggles my mind that you claim to know rural areas, but persist in proposing non-sensical solutions to mass transit there while simultaneously proposing abolishing cars.

            I do agree about time being wasted here, but it’s mine that was wasted by engaging with you.
