>> I'd really like to travel by train sleeper car, but I just can't justify it as transportation > What an odd comment. It gets you where you're going, the same as any other form of transportation. For a long time it was the default way people took long distance trips. But far slower than air travel, which I imagine is a big reason why air travel displaced it. > Do you also consider road trips or long bus rides to be not transportation? I don't take the bus, but when I drive, it's cheaper than flying (or flying + car rental). >> given the prices. > Again, with two people, it's been about the same price the last few times we've done it. But it's slower, so the time-cost is higher.
