It's mostly because, as I noted, taking a train for short trips has become a better option due to the hoopla and bullshit surrounding flying these days.
For long trips though, you're looking at a day of travel vs days of travel. For most people that's not hard to choose between.
- tptacek 12y agoMy mental model for flight schedules is: * Add an hour on each side (getting to/through airport, getting from the airport). * Assume a 2-hour minimum flight no matter what the route. * Round up to nearest hour. For routes with a flying time less than 2 hours, I prefer to drive. Amtrak, though, is never an option. My mental model for Amtrak would need to build in the time to complete the trip on a bus.
