there happens to be a great train from my town to the next that:

• is a lot cheaper than a ride share (only $7 for 30-40 miles)
• your bike rides for free
• is quicker or at least the same amount of time as driving
• picks you up and drops you off downtown

my only complaint is that it only runs 4 times per day, and it can’t really be used as a commuter train or getting home late because of the hours. most people here (raleigh and durham) don’t even know it’s an option.
