The problem with every train is that it doesn't go faster. But Acela is already faster than driving, which is a benchmark no other train can match in North America. Probably faster, door-to-door, than flying, unless you ride its entire length.


The Chicago El is faster than driving. BART may be too, depending on time of day.

Is Brightline faster than driving?

The new LA-Las Vegas line should be faster than driving, but it's not here yet.


Sorry, I meant long distance train. DC metro and especially NYC are also both faster than driving.
