@Mannyrock posted:90% of Americans aren't train people and don't want to be train people. The inner city elite in NY, Chicago and other mega-cities who don't own cars and don't drive are a very tiny minority and don't reflect the rest of America.
I would offer that a more accurate statement is "90% of Americans have never been on a train and don't know if they want to be train people."
I don't know if we have the train system that they have in Europe, but on my extensive business related travels to Europe, I almost ALWAYS prefer to take the train over a plane. I find train travel (at least where there are dependable schedules) to be much more relaxing and comfortable than plane travel.
I don't mean any disrespect, and I don't live in the city, but calling these folks "inner city elite" is a pretty condescending thing to do. Insulting folks is not a way to seriously get a point across.
