Don’t think changing between cars, buses, trains or boats at speed will make me stop using plains (sp).

But then again, crossing the Pacific or getting anywhere in the world from Australia requires some serious distance, unlike many European flights.

Crossing the Pacific will probably not work in a long time without one extremely long tunnel. But for a lot of 1-2hour flights and transportation with cars. With highspeed train maybe also 2-6 hour plain flights. Do the math, it can compete on time.

The Bering straight is not very wide.
