Ive started taking a bus to the airport for my trips. It is 110 miles round trip and the bus offers 5 round trips per month for $93. My only regret is that I didnt start taking the bus sooner! Having that extra hour to sleep on the way to/from work is priceless, and cheaper than driving.

 

Before much longer everyone will be riding the bus and just skip the airplane altogether. It seems that trains will also be big in the future.

Maybe in 10 years this site will be called "Tran and Bus Driver Central".

hahah thats great. Its a sad day when its cheaper to fly then drive.............

 

Not likely. Buses are too slow for long distances. Fast trains require massive infrastructure which becomes very expensive after a few hundred miles. The Euros and Japanese can justify it because their major population centers are very close together...try to run to numbers on a maglev from LAX to DEN (don't forget an extra 250 Billion dollars to drill a straight tunnel through the rockies.

High speed trains are also a security problem...you can't protect thousands of miles of track. Airliners are are only vulnerable from the outside if you can hit a high-speed target in the T/O or final approach phase...with a very powerful weapon (hand-held = too small). With a train, you don't have to hit the vehicel, just the track. A mortar round or satchel charge would probably derail a high-speed train...and at 300 mph that's the same as the wings coming off a plane: smoking hole.
