Rail is a horrible solution for transporting people. If I could take a 15-minute train ride to work, it would suck in comparison to driving a car for 30 minutes or more. What if I get off work early? Now I’m waiting for the train. What if I want to go get groceries on my lunch break? Now I’m waiting for the train again. What if I’m working from home and something happens that requires me to go into the office? Looks like I’m going to be late, because I’m waiting for the train.
Modern society is built around motorized vehicles, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love being able to get in my car and be anywhere I need to in a somewhat short period of time.

Ass-backwards take, car-centric society is unsustainable as the population grows.
