Tightwad,
Read the same article...Passenger Rail in the US is non existent out side of a few main corridors. And don't even get me started on the bus service! I can remember even as recently as the mid '80s still using Greyhound/Trailways to get places and it was reasonably priced and still fairly efficient. Now it is freakin'g joke, probably could get their fast hitch hiking...
