    Fuck yeah trains! Three times the price of driving and takes an hour longer on the rare occasions where it actually turns up on time!

    Sure, because in addition to a train ticket price, you have to pay train fuel, train insurance, train maintainance, train devaluation, and when you get to the destination, you have to pay to park the train.

    Maybe you had a bad experience with trains on your area, but I move equally fast on train than in car (taking account waiting the train and fighting for a parking space) for long distances... for my daily routine i waist a little more of time xause i have to walk 1 km from the station.

    About the price... yep, the car is cheaper once you paid the initial investment.

    I pay around 240 us$ anually to move to work by train (4 km).

    On a car (diesel, local prices, 6,5 L/100 Km consumption) i would be paying 147 US$ just on gas. On that i have to add fees, taxes, repairment and parking..

    Conclusion: bike/motorbike besto transporto
