“Trains will ever retain two passenger markets – the neurotic and the obese.
The first are too afraid of flying that they’ll eat the time. The second eat so much that they don’t fit in airline seats.”
If you’re so fat you can’t fit into an airline seat, you probably aren’t getting out of the house much anyway.
Neurotics? There are all sorts of drugs that can be prescribed for such people (as fans of Tony Kornheiser’s radio show can attest.)
And there are Buses. Take the chart given here, and go to Greyhound.com.
You’ll find rates cheaper than flying, and travel times shorter than trains, for most long hauls.
