    I know right, a plane ride will take me exactly to her house! What kind of logic is this? Can you recommend a method to travel across the US to visit my grandma that wouldn’t require me paying or being restricted in where I could go? That is how modern travel works in every form.

    Also anyway when I take the train I could take a bike with me and bike the rest of the way, or in my city there is a free shuttle from the train station to the center of downtown, with buses every direction from there, any many bigger cities have light-rails or subways that connect from train stations. And it’s healthy to walk, people have walked for thousands of years.

      Plane rides aren’t for frequent and shorter trips. Cars are a cheap way to get there and you aren’t restricted at all.

        I mentioned in another comment, I’m talking about visiting my grandma who lives on the opposite coast, like once a year or less, it’s not cheap to drive that far. And for a trip that would be better to drive than fly I’d rather take a train, it’s more pleasant and comfortable, they usually have bars and food served, I don’t have to worry about parking or traffic and I could rent a car there if I need one.
