I love the train. Just love it.
And when you take the train to a city like St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, or Washington, you have to get around on the bus (unless you want to "ride-share" everywhere, which is just stupidly burning money, imo). And then you notice who primarily rides the bus. It's amazing, the dichotomy.
(Prolly also true of NOLA, San Antonio, and Little Rock, but I primarily walked in those towns or Lyft'd to/from Amtrak stations (NOLA).)

@tarheel 💯 I see it as another of the ways that "keeping up with the Jones's" or "keeping up appearances" has screwed us as a country. Lower middle class people spending money they don't need to just to prove they're not "poor white trash".
