   Failed attempt at humor (or may be an attempt at humor where humor is   
   not possible?)?   
      
   There are people here who seem to say that going by air is bad (for a   
   variety of reasons, with which I agree in many cases, more cases are   
   valid points) and that rail is better.   
      
   There are people here who bemoan the loss of rail capacity (street cars   
   and such in particular) to the evil bus conspiracy.   
      
   I was surprised to learn that there is a head-to-head competition   
   between high-status air travel and buses.  (I have always ranked buses,   
   status-wise, right above "can't afford to go".)
