U can haul multiple Things. Kids, griceries, furniture - this is not easily replaceable with trains.

You're so right. Trains are much smaller than the average GMC RAM 15000 OvercompensationMobile™ and therefore cannot fit any of those things. Or run red lights. Or be used to murder cyclists. Hell, those newfangled electric ones can't even roll coal! Absolute disgrace.

I have never been stuck in traffic on a train.

I've never had the train stop or slow down due to a horrible crash of another train.

None of my friends have ever been killed by a train.

I have hauled my kids, with luggage and car seats, on a train. I have also taken my bicycle which I attach luggage to, and had work send me home with a box full of equipment. What are you talking about?

Kids are allowed on public transport, you know? For groceries, just use a backpack or a shopping caddy. And how often do you haul furniture that you absolutely need a car for that? Just take a rental car for the rare occasion, which also allows you to rent a much more fitting vehicle for the job, like a van for example.

After 2.5 hours you will be in South Bend. You will be concentrating on the road so you don't die. Meanwhile after chilling with a coffee and a good book for 2.5 hours the train passenger will be refreshed and in NYC.
