gollark: HAX!
gollark: Also the service got nationalized or something and constantly slightly increases in cost.
gollark: Where I live in the UK train service... exists... but it seems to actually be about as fast as going by car on the same trip, if not slower.
gollark: I mean, trains would be better for... some-distance transport... but it seems like nobody cares enough to implement good train infrastructure most places.
gollark: * planes are cool
