You need lot more lbs of cars to move 120k lbs of passengers, that's the argument in favor of trains.

Yes, infrastructure is more more important, and railway infrastructure is much more sustainable to maintain in long term.

If you live at a place with decent public transport, you'll ditch cars first thing. That's the biggest argument against cars.

I agree there are better arguments. My point was that the specific argument I was replying to was bad.
