Nobody chooses to ride trains except old steam trains, stuff like the Orient Express
99% of people use trains because they need them, usually to get to work.
You'd be about as effective an economist as Liz The Lettuce
People absolutely do choose trains over cars, when the train is actually viable. Just because that isn't a thing in the UK doesn't mean it couldn't be.
Trains are not the only way to travel. Your definition of 'need' is so broad as to encompass most of the economy. Organizing society on the basis of that kind of thinking has been tried and the results are invariably disastrous.
Calm doon Liz, western Europe organises society just like that, and there's no need for you to gargle a billionaire's todger about it
Nothing to see here folks. Just another brainwashed capitalist-dick-sucking class-traitor. He can go to the wall with the rest of them.
