Honestly, what's wrong with trains? I traveled to Italy last year, taking the train for more or less 200 miles everyday. There were trains every 15 minutes during peak hours and those things travel up to 100 mph with no traffic! And it was insanely cheap!

I agree, the number sounds wrong.
And I also wonder how another form a rail transport could improve on trains dramatically, since the cost will be much higher for multiple smaller vehicles and as far as CD goes trains will win over shorter vehicles because of the length.
