I can buy myself a car. I can't buy myself a train. That's the problem.

Why? So you can customize the paint? It’s not like you have access to the interesting control systems of a modern car, anyway.

Donald Trump does bring up a legitimate point: The train can be operated by a corrupt entity. With a car, you have options. With a train, you are stuck.

However, I prefer to arrange my life so I can use bicycle.

Biking in the US mostly sucks too, almost entirely due to car-oriented legislation at all levels of government.
