- stevetrewick 10y agoIf that were universally so, there would be no trucks.
- takingflac 10y agoYep, last mile along with schedule freedom gives trucks the advantage over trains in many situations. Trains are more efficient, but less flexible.
- cma 10y agoYes, and potentially driverless trucks are much more efficient than driven trucks, in terms of energy usage and human effort. Trains will probably still remain more efficient than either, I wasn't saying get rid of trains.
