Before the hurricanes hit florida and lousiana you had a few option's on travel between the states. Planes, Bus, Cars, and Train's you stil have all of these except for the most resonable, Train's. My mom has traveled all these method's of travel except flying which she will not do. She just recently found out that travel by train was very enjoyable and cost effective. You have a few layover's but not like the one's you have on a bus. The train doesn't drop you off at the door like a car, but you have to travel a small distance to pick the person up, Same with the bus. But the comfort level between bus and train is a great difference, the train win's out by a long shot. Plane's are faster but the wait and expense to travel that way is a bit frustrating. The ony problem with train's now is the track's were torn up and have not been replaced , or something. The freight train's seem to be still running but the passanger train's seem to have come to a screeching halt along the coast line, why?
