    Right but now is it more environmentally friendly or efficient to maintain, staff and run a train for one person? Give her an EV and everybody wins

      The train station is unmanned and largely un-maintained. It’s just a dirt platform. The only thing the train has to do that it wasn’t already doing anyways is stop and start again, which consumes fewer resources than a separate EV driving all the way to the next nearest stop.
