rayiner is comparing inter-city rail to highways. Pedestrians and cyclists aren't relevant to highways.

  Those inter-city highways are heavily used by people commuting through metropolitan areas. For example the only way to drive from the second largest city (San Francisco) to the third largest city (Oakland) in the Bay Area is over an interstate highway.

    Yes, but those highways are separated from those metropolitan areas except for some on and off ramps. Thus, the point still stands.

      Every one of those drivers creates traffic on local streets at the start and end of their journey
