What do you think about adding more auto trains?

Asked by JLeslie (65425points) December 26th, 2018 from iPhone

I was recently on a Q about transportation, and brought up adding more auto trains for long distance travel.

Currently, in America, there is only one train line that you can load your car, and it is along the east coast from Virginia to Florida and vice versa.

Do you think you would use the auto train if it was more available?

How many hours would your total drive need to be to have you consider it?

If the price is the same as gas and a hotel night, which do you opt for? The train or the drive?

Does it compete against a flight and renting a car for you?

How nice does the train need to be to make it appealing?

Are you worried about something happening to your car on the auto train?
