Another failure to understand on your part. Its not a matter of opinion, the numbers are what they are, you have none, and I've given plenty.
Average human weighs in at 200lbs. pile 40 of them in a rail car nd you have "bulk transport." You've yet to prove that rail transpor is inefficent, quite the opposite, you've proven nothing in that regard. As to cost, that isn't a measure of efficiency, and I'm not saying building a rail line is cheap. BUT... in the long term, it WILL save huge amounts of fuel, which was the original point.
Sadly, your figures were not accurate, given the buttumptions that were used to arrive at those figures.
I've never commented on U.S. data on auto use, so buttuming (once again) what my opinion is would be just that, an buttumption.
Built like a Mercedes 3646I got it the first time Huw. Your numbers aren't realistic, and are based on buttumptions, not actual data. They are from a website with political bias, meaning that not only are the figures inaccurate...
Without a thorough examination of any report that the U.S. Government publishes, one has to take into account the funding source and the actual data collection agency. Therefore, they are no more accurate than any other study source, and possibly much more biased.
