In China, in Europe... in most countries, there are many transportation options that you can choose. In America, not so much!

America has no train system to speak of. However, nearly 100 major cities in America, such as Las Vegas and Nashville have no train service at all. In South Dakota and Wyoming many lines were given up in the last 30 years because they did not have enough money to keep them running. Some trains only run every 3 days, so if you have to be somewhere at a certain time, you’d have to plan your schedule carefully.

Is it comfortable to fly across America? Well, no. if you’re hoping for something to eat, you’d better have a credit card: all food must be bought, and you cannot pay with cash. “Plane food” is about as expensive as food you would buy at the airport.

But it is very safe when you fly in the USA. You can’t bring sweaters and coats on the plane. It takes longer to get through security than to check in to your flight and get to the gate!
