    How does that work? Like you put out a request and a conductor drives a locomotive to pick you up?

      I’m pretty sure you can just buy train tickets on Uber or some shit

      Maybe automatically chain together and Uber and a train or something

        I figured out what you meant but my initial mental image for “automatically chain together” was a long line of Hondas and Teslas connected by short tow straps.

          no no, you might be onto something there. what if we traded the wheels and roads for steel rather than rubber and asphalt, to decrease the rolling resistance, and increase the durability… yeah, I can see it now… you might be a genius!
