> The biggest speed advantage for driving is the same as biking or walking - you can begin the trip at any time.

This just isn't true. For example, it takes a bit over two hours to take mass transit to the airport, but it takes a bit under one hour to make the same trip by taxi. The potential five minute wait for the train to arrive is a sideshow. The problem is the intermediate stops.

I should have been precise - the biggest advantage for driving when the train is the same or faster.
