Cars are inefficient, they can carry much fewer people and are also a lot more polluting.
Also, they are dirty and you need to watch traffic. In train you can study, read, actually develop instead of being miserable.
Not to mention you need to buy gas, schedule & pay for maintenance, etc.
Yeah nobody needs to pay for train maintenance, we all know it’s free! /s
The infrastructure for it is already in place
So you’re telling me that running, staffing and maintaining a train is more environmentally friendly than 1 electric vehicle?
In a vacuum, as a one time deal, developing from scratch? Probably no.
If you already have a robust train infrastructure? Depends on a length of a run, but it will be yes in more cases than you think. Trains are incredibly efficient.
The train is already being ran, staffed, and maintained. The only difference is the cost of applying brakes as this stop and then restarting the engine. So you should be comparing having all passengers buy a vehicle instead of just this one student, or only the cost of stopping the train at this station.
They're not running an entire train line for her. They're making an extra stop on an existing train line.
