That’s not a silver lining at all. Jets are actually very fuel efficient compared to driving when they’re full of passengers.

One less plane in the air could potentially mean 300+ more cars on the road. Not a great outcome.

Yeah but one less airplane in the air with 300 people in a train is a lot better. The issue is the infrastructure that's shit in North America.

We would actually need trains that go all the places people want to go for a better price. That would definitely be cool.
