<p>I am fortunate to live in a country that sports a quite extensive passenger rail network, although it is only a shadow of what it once was. Traveling by train has turned into the fastest and most comfortable mode of transporting people in my country, making domestic flights nearly obsolete. Traveling time from all the way north to all the way south (Hamburg to Munich) takes the same time, if you add all the times, yet taking the train is much more convenient. Trains arrive and depart in the center of the cities, and not in dingy industrial districts. Public transport by light rail or bus takes you anywhere within the cities.</p> <p>With the gas prices the way they are in my country (how does $ 8.50 a gallon sound to you?) traveling by train is also much cheaper these days.</p> <p>I am perfectly aware that one cannot compare Germany and the US, as our distances are much shorter, but i still think that your country could do with a better passenger train system than it now has.</p>
