We’re going on a road trip!
There are some days where we can barely muster the energy to just pop down to the corner store to get a carton of milk, especially with today’s commuting options. It’s no secret that we love rail, but even that makes us groan with the wall-to-wall passengers on the train. It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact number of people who use trains for local commuting globally, but it’s estimated that billions of journeys are taken annually on trains worldwide for all purposes, including local commuting.
Data indicates a rising trend in rail ridership, with significant numbers relying on trains for daily travel, particularly in major cities and densely populated areas. Flying, of course, is likely the fastest way to “get there” but that’s not practical, and it’s expensive. So, in many situations, travelers are in a pickle, of sorts, and you simply have no choice but to drive. For some, this seems like a calling, a destination, and you can have it.

This highway traverses through North, Central, and South America, passing through 14 countries.
