The Argument For Transportation By Rail

In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the efficiency of transport, railway proponents suggest that the government invest more on trains and mass public transport.

Indeed, there are ways that rail can help make transportation more convenient, quicker, and a lot less detrimental to the environment but there are several factors to consider.

Public opinion, legislation, and the logistics of making rail transport ubiquitous are some of the challenges that rail proponents might face. But maybe it's time for America to have something like the Trans-European rail network.
