    No… I trains are great to comment A and B. But If you don’t live in A or B, the they are not great… The train network is fair where I live and covers a lot of the country. But still not everyone can use them. The majority of people living in cities can though. It will never cover the needs of all

      In my country, 30 years ago, there was a train station every two villages.

      French government built a crazy train network in the first half of the 20th century because it was the backbone of war logistics, and it allowed people to move. Cars and Europe made both these needs obsolete, so the rail network was abandoned.

      You don’t need to go more than 2km to find a train station in my country, it’s just that most are abandoned now.
