@viq@social.hackerspace.pl True. But for motorized transport of more than a bike or trike could carry, trains easily beat out every other common surface motor transport. That's why I almost always mention them when discussing transit. Over any distance longer than you'd comfortably commute by bike, a train wins every time, and if your goal is an energy-efficient society, rail must be a major component.

@wesdym@mastodon.social you'd need a hell of a lot of bikes to carry what a train can. But it still takes more energy to move it than this amount of bikes would have used.
