I watch Top Gear and they do a lot of races across Europe car vs different public transportation. So far, I don’t think public transportation has won yet.

Even flying a small private plane from the south of France to London was slower than the drive.

I remember that episode. (Great show, Top Gear)
Are you watching that new show with Richard Hamond, where he tries to learn to operate big equipment in three days?
Very entertaining.
Yep, the train is slow and easy - I still love train travel.

They've even done that in Japan versus the Japanese rail system, which kicks butt, probably the most efficient in the world, and the public transportation system still lost. Speaks volumes, doesn't it?
