In the United States, train transportation is unpopular compared with cars and airplanes. Most people like traveling by car or by air.

Officials of the United States Department of Transportation made a study in 2001. The study is about how many miles Americans traveled by different means of transportation. They only studied trips longer than 50 miles. The study showed that fifty­six percent of all miles were traveled in personal vehicle. Forty­one percent were traveled in an airplane. Two percent were traveled in a bus. And less than one percent of miles were traveled in a train.

Amtrak is the national provider of train transportation in the United States. In the past ten years, the number of its passengers has increased by eighteen percent. Although the number of passengers has increased, it is still very small now. In countries such as France, Germany, or Japan, more people use trains.

Airplanes can carry passengers over long distances much faster._People_who_do_not_want_to_spend_long_time_traveling_by_train_decide_to_fly,_because_for_them_saving_time_is_the_most_important_thing.
