Your country train system is broken, 500 km train ticket here costs 1/3 of the petrol required to travel there standard class, and is still cheaper first class... (Which is typically more comfortable than airplane or car.)

Even using LNG as fuel they're behind.

The only place I see gas cars still winning is short range with hybrids.

Sure, it’s only gotten worse since it was privatised.

My commute is £40 by train and £15 for petrol. With two people in the car, it’s even worse.
