Why do you say it like roads are the only option? Its even far from the most effective option. You mean rails?

- retired 8mo agoRailroads are roads.
- spacechild1 8mo agoOnly by name.
- red-iron-pine 8mo agorail-roads is in the name mon ami
- spacechild1 8mo agoNot in other languages. In German, for example, it would very weird to think of railroads (Bahn/Eisenbahn/Bahnstrecke) as roads (Straßen). Would you also claim that a hedgehog is a pig?
- BobaFloutist 8mo agoBut autobahn is a road, no?
- spacechild1 8mo agoYes, but "Bahn" actually means "track", "path" or "lane". "Bahn" in the sense of "railroad" is an abbreviation of "Eisenbahn" (literal translation: "iron tracks"). So "Autobahn" has nothing to do with railroad, it just means "car track".
