My home is connected to the rest of the world by roads, at maximum I can travel by air (but having no chopper, STOL or human-capable drone I can't take that route) so well... If someone can made ANY actual road link available by rails...
Oh, BTW my BEV can also run on not much hard ground, a thing trains can't do.
We have roads because so far they are the best balance between flexibility and available tech, we can't make rails everywhere and we can't makes them flexible enough to be used by many different transports. The future will be air, when we will been able technologically to lift enough weight and move at an affordable enough costs. That's is.
Rails today are the best on-ground means of transport for goods, for mass transports but can't reach "the last mile". Boats are another very nice means of transport BUT we do not have water everywhere so similar to rails have a scalability issue.
