The premise of taking a train which is slower than a plane, over said plane is that the train is more spacious and luxurious. Buses offer LESS luxury than planes (scant to begin with) and far far far less speed. What idiot would settle for that? The solution is scrapping our fossilized rail system and replacing with a national high speed maglev rail network. Oh, and as a side note, electrifying ALL freight rail so that goods prices aren't tied to oil prices. Suuuuure… let’s all take Greyhound buses across the country. *rolls eyes*.

In a self-promotional way, I believe that my http://travel-babel.blogspot.com stands up favorably against any individual, not corporately underwritten travel blog out there. I have had a link to your blog for quite some time and would be pleased if you would add mine to your blogroll. Shameless self-promotion from my blog to yours.
