Plane is evil, train is good. Bus is medium good, car is medium evil. Even though I support bike lanes, bike is evil.

When I was a child, I always thought to myself "If I become a kajillionaire, I will build a big rail loop that will always be running and I can sleep on the train whenever I want"

The Plane being so high in the sky is far from the natural earth we want to rest on, while the train has that strong connection.

The constant white noise of planes is overridden by terrible seats, turbulence, odd smells, and most importantly, weird pressure changes that pop my ears.

It’s true. Everyone needs to get railed for better sleep.

Maybe your bed should be on rails like Wallace and Gromit. It only seems reasonable

i firmly maintain that sleeper trains is the closest thing humanity has to teleportation. you get on the train, sleep, then wake up hundreds of km away. it rules.

You know the first Laguna-dream moment on Final Fantasy VIII? I'm sure they were too comfy for their own good and just fell asleep there. The Laguna thing just took advantage of their train-sleepiness.

The US uses trains a lot, but primarily for freight. For some reason, they nationalised passenger services and privatised the rails themselves around the same time.

When I was 19 me and some friends got North American rail passes and cruised the whole USA sleeping on many overnight trains in our seats. It was an incredible way to see the country!

No trains for US citizens... to keep them woke...

I read this out loud to my partner who is from New Jersey and he is still talking about how much he loves trains

Planes feel designed specifically to resent the people inside them, unless you get business class

Trains aren't just the most energy-efficient form of transit, but the coziest too.

This is because trains have pure souls and planes have souls of dirt

best sleep in my life was on the green car on the shinkansen. Immediately felt a deep shame that the US didn't have low cost high speed rail, my ass would be taking trips all the time (and reaping the sleep rewards)

we aren’t meant to be up there
