Setting aside that train delays are usually no worse than usual auto traffic jams (and even when delayed are still less delaying than a car jam), and that being slightly crowded on a train is still far more pleasant due to being able to relax and read a book or nap, and the fact that I (in the Netherlands) never really see homeless people on the train...
... do you think homeless people don't deserve to travel anywhere? They have no right to see their friends or family in other towns, or to visit a medical specialist that isn't where they are? How else would you suggest the poor travel (other than obvious answer that you wish they didn't exist in the first place)?
