No, people will still fly. I can be in Chicago in less than 3 hours. Rail cannot compete with flying at those distances. Only foamers and those afraid of flying would do an overnight cross-country rail trip when the same distance can be covered by an airplane in less than 5 hours. That would mean I'd have the train mostly to myself, since I qualify for both.Flying's horrible. It just gives a whole load of wannabe stormtroopers the opportunity to pester you. |
