    I don’t live in the US. Are you saying 20% of all people in the US live outside any settlement?

    Even if that’s the case that’s one country, it’s applicable to every other country.

      Every country I look up has at least 15% of their population loving in rural areas.

      Yes this means that ~20% of most countries live outside low density towns or high density cities.

        Rural doesn’t mean a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. Small towns and villages should absolutely get a train connection.

          Rural does mostly mean farmhouses and houses in the woods. And yes small villages should get a train connection. But remember you’re suggesting this is a cheap and easy solution when compared to EVs, what you’re suggesting would be very very expensive.

            So you’re saying the US has enough farmhouses in the middle of nowhere away from any settlement for about 70 million people? That is definitely not the case for Europe at least.

            Also that’s still cheaper than maintenance for roads.
