Because it has to be repeated again and again: We need to drastically reduce the number of cars to solve our problems.

Why does it have to be one or the other?

I'd absolutely love to see more high speed trains! But most of the stuff I use my car for is local transport. A train would be of absolutely no use for that.

(And I already try to keep it off the roads as much s possible, by using public transports instead.)

Trains should be developer as the better option to planes. The car problem needs completely different solutions.
