Flying vs. Train When Traveling Less Than 400 Miles

<p>Traffic congestion is a major issue, and it is likely to get worse. In Texas congestion along the I-35 corridor gets worse year by year. If there is a wreck traffic backs up for miles, and it can take a seeming long time to get through.</p> <p>Whether improved train service along the I-35 corridor in Texas would entice more people out of their cars is unknown. The transportation planners and policy makers apparently believe the answer is to improve I-35, which they are doing. They are rebuilding it from the Mexican to Oklahoma boarders and beyond. Getting people out of their cars and onto public transport in Texas will be a major challenge.</p> <p>I always sit at the back of the plane, and I have been known to grumble about the time it takes to get off it. However, when I actually check the time required to exit the plane, it usually takes no more than five minutes after the door is opened. Of course, getting off a 747 takes a bit longer than getting off a 737. The same phenomenon occurs when I am stuck in a traffic jam. It always seems longer than it is. </p>
