I use public transit out of necessity, because I don't have a car, and because taxis are relatively expensive. I also like to bike, but biking does not have a very great range.
But I do like rail transit, and I've long had an interest in that. Buses I don't like as much, because they are slow and often entangled in traffic.
In fact, I recall someone concluding that I'm an Aspie because of my interest in trains.
I remember BART from the San Francisco Bay Area -- nice fast trains.
And I like Amtrak.
