I regularly hear people say stuff like “I would like to take the train, but the flight was cheapest”. “You know, i’d take the train, but with switching twice and 8 hours… and the flight was only a bit more expensive”
There is still a lot of convenience over actual need.
This varies from country to country, but over here a train trip is, in general, more expensive than a flight to the same destination by a significant factor

Then make the fucking trains work not other stuff more expensive…
One way to make the money for making trains better is to end subsidizing and properly taxing planes.
