    What you consider “normal” isn’t exactly normal.

    Your American perspective is only a thin slice of the world. Don’t be so conceited.

    you know that trains take energy to run right?

    Less energy per passenger, and the energy sources available are much more diverse.

    run off electric and that energy is usually from burning fossil fuels. [sic]

    In ass-backwards places, sure. You know Brazil, that country to the south of yours, with a comparable landmass and population? More than 85% of their electricity comes from renewable sources. I guess 'murica is too much of a shithole to figure this one out.

    So your suggestion is “don’t use this one method of transportation that burns fossil fuels, use this other method of transportation that takes longer and still burns fossil fuels!” [sic]

    So the implication is that you think the efficiency of a process is meaningless and the path to an outcome is unimportant (which is braindead). You may as well drop dead right now, then, since “you’ll still die some day, anyway”.
