> Aren't trains much, much more efficient than individual transport? Only if well loaded and running most of the time well loaded. Meaning in practice they can't be more efficient than personal transports. OR you make a service 24/7/365 (untenable, running nearly empty most of the time) or you can't satisfy personal moving needs most of the time. Beside that just look at single stations costs compared to people moving in less dense areas in glorified electric golf carts mostly recharged via local p.v. It's an ancient scam to sell collective transportation as positive, actually it's positive only for the public-funded business owner.
