      People on driving on highways drive on them either because they need to, rural public transit is non-existent, it is cheaper or long distance transit is shit. They have their reasons and seeing train flying by wont change them unless it makes a better alternative.

        You two are in agreement. They want more rail built as a viable alternative to driving. The 'shame' factor is just an advertisement for a superior method.

        This is just reinventing homo oeconomicus but for transportation. People aren't rational
