Trains are effective for moving people between cities, or around cities, but will rarely serve destinations out in the countryside. For that, you need a car.

- xorfish 4y agoHave you been to Switzerland? Going on a hike where you don't need to go back to the place you started is pretty convenient.
- sofixa 4y agoMy grandparents live in a village with a few hundred inhabitants, and have a train connection to the "big" city(30k) nearby multiple times per day. In the poorest country in the EU. Of course that's not feasible anywhere, that's why there's the concept of Park and Ride. You take the train to a station which has a big car parking and you can use your car from there. The usual use is for people commuting by car to be able to leave their cars there and take the train into the city, in order to avoid traffic (and this concept gets abused in the US and Canada with train stations and lines only for that single use case and unusable for anyone without a car), but it can go both ways.
