Wish trains weren't 3 times more expensive than buses. Would make my stanning for the best mode of mass transportation a lot easier.

Dismantling our once extensive rail network then ramping prices through the roof was a disgrace. Just look at 1930s vs 1970s. Fuck FF and FG. pic.twitter.com/nGQ4YA11kd

Well, the problem is that trains are very damn expensive. Much, much more expensive than buses to run, to maintain, to operate and to build.

Trains are more romantic, and that’s why people are attached to them, but most of the time trains make little to no sense when you could just have buses. Much cheaper, vastly more flexible, and with none of the other enormous drawbacks.

Trains cost roughly 10x as much as buses, all in. And when you consider that the road is already there….
