Nothing to do with hopping on a train.
Gas and diesel have a 60% Government Fuel Tax added.
It is still cheaper and in most cases quicker to travel by car than train, if when you get to you destination, you can find a space, and afford to park on it!
Just think.
If US Government stuck $2 on every gallon, you could clear the national deficit in no time at all!!
