<p>[quote user="zugmann"]</p> <p>Bottom line: either mode is better depending on the conditions and variables you put in place. </p> <p>So these "race" ideas are useless. Take the train or the plane (or a donkey leading a hound)....it's having that choice that is the winner. [/quote]</p> <p>Depends on your perspective. Putting together the information for a hypothetical race forces one to check out the facts. It is amazing how many people think that they know about a transport market only to be proven wrong when the facts are presented. And it is fun. </p> <p>Of course, one can rig the outcome by changing the variables. The choice would be a winner if both competitors were required to survive without direct government subsidies. Unfortunately, this is not the case.</p>
