I don't know current priorities but I do know that such a feature is strongly under consideration. The major barrier (as I recall) is getting such a feature to play nicely with multiple installed clients and the web client.

And there are lots of Americans who DO prefer trains over cars. Please don't be so broad brush in your statements. WRT your wife - go to Europe and ride the trains there. Recently I went to Spain. In Spain even the ratty commuter train
