It always ends up taking longer, more expensive and there are always issues that pile up and make it a nightmare to get these projects to total completion.

Eating scones and crumpets on public transit is not a lifestyle that people choose. I really dont think that first point is true and as for the second point.. absolutely, Yes, it is... I rode trains in DC every day for 3-4 years and I had a car. I rode trains in china for 3-4 years and had a personal driver. Its much more peaceful, they consistently run on time, there's more room to move, depending on the train there's bathrooms and food, much safer and you can do other shit. It's great! You should travel and try it sometime. Edited May 5, 2025 by titanruss IsntLifeFunny, and rns90 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that the train route is near you and you have access to it, you have people arguing that it’s better to drive and deal with stuff like traffic /lights instead of just taking the train where it’s basically automated and you can basically “chill” on the commute.
