Need to rebuild it and have bullet trains so us poor folk can travel. Airfare is killer and if you drive you lose vacation time. Weekend getaways are fun but not worth it for the airfare.

I agree more trains would be better. But whether trains are more economical than planes largely depends on the country. In the UK at least flying can be a lot cheaper. London to Paris flight is £30 but the train is £60. The train is much handier though as it goes from central and you don't need to get to the airport or hang around the airport for ages.

A plane ticket for us to go to Vegas for the weekend is around 500$ per person. Airfare in The United States sucks.
