    I wish the US had better passenger rail infrastructure so people traveling long distance didn’t need to road trip.

    I’m lucky to be in a position where I can ride a train to the two closest cities so I’m picking up an EV. Anything longer distance and I’ll either fly or rent an ICE.

      Tbh some people enjoy road tripping

      I’d rather drive 10 hours than fly 2-3, and that would be the same for the train. Having something to keep me engaged during the travel is the only thing that keeps me from going insane. I can’t stand airplanes cause I’m bored within 20 minutes and can’t even stand up to stretch
