Amtrak. =(
I can take a 8 hour train ride from my house in Austin to my sisters in Dallas and have no car when I get there, or drive for 3 hours and have my own car for the weekend. It's really a no-brainer.
Austin to Houston, again 9 hour train ride or 3 hour drive.
Dallas to Houston 15 hour train ride of 4 hour drive.
And in all cases it cost more for the longer rides than gas to drive.
Why would anyone in Texas have any faith in such a system? Not that it matters we all know it will know any investment of our taxes will be put in the North East like it always is.
