Building that amount of steel infrastructure really isn’t as easy as you trainbrain idealists seem to think, we really shouldn’t destroy the planets climate just to make a huge grid of expensive to maintain tracks when there are far better options - such as fleet managed self driving cars.
If course trains are great for medium length journeys on high volume routes, commuting for example but they’re not a one size fits all solution
Both options are pretty destructive to the environment (though I was thinking more monorail-esque than trains), but roads and cars I would think do more negatives, from the road construction to the CO2 to the car accidents. And it might not even be rails that are the best option, I just know our traffic system is horrendous.
