        Nah, that would make it hella dangerous to just be a person existing in that space. Much safer to use trains to get to a city and then travel in the city by personal conveyance, like a bike or something. Imagine how awful life would be if we gave all that space to train tracks just for individual use. It would be an isolated, lonely nightmare. Not to mention super expensive too. Train engines, no matter how small, are not cheap to own or operate.

          I’m going to want something with a roof, windows, and climate control, though – for when the weather is bad.

          I bicycle plenty, but there are definitely times when I’d rather not and it’s miserable.
