That question has many answers..In some countries you need a Government permit to own a car..Other countries it could be the high cost of fuel per liter.Then Americans are a mobile people and while they complain about the high cost of gas many keeps driving to their vacation destinies.
Of course Amtrak is not blameless..Try taking a train to or from Columbus,Ohio..
Good luck!
In fact ain't going to happen because Amtrak doesn't go to Columbus-the capital of Ohio!!
This isn't the only city not served by Amtrak.
