No car if you fly, either. What's the diff? AeroRentacar is made by the same (Chinese) company who makes RailRentacar; they just put a different logo on the front.

>>Unless you don't own a car (student) or don't want to drive (the elderly) you want the convenience of a car when you get to where yur going. All the research done on these things is done by people who have an interest in seeing it built and who make ridership "projections" which are totally theoretical.<< Vinter - The car thing is one reason high speed rail would work very well between New York and D.C. Most New Yorkers don't own cars, and it sucks to bring one into the city. One can always rent a car when one gets to one's destination. I mean, people do fly between Los Angeles to San Francisco. There's no reason the same people wouldn't take a high speed train if they could. - Allen
