By 2020, passengers will be able to arrive at their destinations faster by high-speed rail than by plane on nearly half of the densest European air routes (Boston Consulting Group, 2009. Planes, Trains and automobiles - Crossing Paths in European Travel). In a world that is fast approaching irreversible environmental states from global warming, trains potential give us a way to make things better. Rail is the most sustainable method of mass transit. Global economies heavily rely on the transportation industry to move people and goods. If we can obtain a better balance between other, more environmentally harmful methods of transportation, vast eco-improvements can be made.
