I am not sure I agree here. It seems to me this is an area where restrictions have both benefits and drawbacks. Rails seem much more efficient, safe, and have faster terminal service. Riding on any good rail service is vastly more enjoyable to the passenger than flying. I would rather travel Europe, Asia, and North America on high speed trains than by air.

> Rails seem much more efficient, safe, and have faster terminal service. While that may be true, those aren't the only criteria. (And, the efficiency is only fuel efficiency.) > Riding on any good rail service is vastly more enjoyable to the passenger than flying. When the journey is the goal, that's great, but I'm usually travelling because I want to get somewhere else.
