Cars are incredibly inefficient at transporting people though, like you need a massive highway to transport the amount of people a train can transport, not to mention how much higher maintenance roads are compared to train tracks.

    Cars are incredibly inefficient at transporting groups of people long distances

    FTFY

    I'd love a legit train system to take me to locations across the state or country. But for running errands or local, day-to-day tasks, trains aren't the answer.

    I have taken the tram for whatever I need short distance so far, it's also free and goes from like behind my apartment to pretty much anywhere I would wanna go, including work. If I wanna visit my parents then yea, I take the train but I haven't needed a car in years.

    Inefficient but versatile. Hardly anyone has the same schedule or needs.

    I wouldn't be able to do my job if I didn't have access to a personal vehicle, I have gear and tools I have to transport around town every day.
