    We need to make trains better and far more numerous to make driving the lesser alternative.

      Don’t disagree, but you won’t get rid of cars entirely and they’ll still be a major part of transportation. I’m just saying they should at least be safer.

      This, but we also need to stop shutting down race tracks and start making them more affordable! The desire to drive fast would be greatly reduced if people had an affordable, legal outlet to do so. But public race tracks are becoming more and more rare, and the ones that are still around charge hundreds to thousands of dollars for a track day, which only encourages people who spent money on a sports car to risk enjoying their car illegally on public roads.

      It’s a major issue and something needs to be done about it. Sports car enthusiasts need an outlet.

      Too impractical in most places in America sadly. I’m just hoping this high speed rail in Cali gets finished. I commute from Sacramento to Los Angeles once a month for stupid meetings and it sucks my choices are drive 7 hours or fly or take a 15 hour train ride one way for a higher price than the other options.
