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

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.
