Would you rather travel via train or plane?

Train, the closer to the ground you are the safer. + it's cheaper.

Train...aside from the safety and price issue, I like that I can get up, walk around, go to the restaurant car or the club car, and be well rested when I get where I'm going. If time is a factor then I'd definitely take a plane.

i think trains because even though planes are faster, trains you can have like a room and sleep there.

I absolutely HATE flying commercial airlines, I love small pirvate planes lol.
The TSA thing is so dehumanizing, the luggage check in and check out is awful.
The planes never have enough leg room, most major airports are a long ways from nowhere.

However for longer trips, it is almost essential to fly because of the time thing, shorter to intermediate trips trains where available are a nice option.

Airplane, passanger trains are bad for the enviroment, they slow down freight trains forcing frieght onto the highway (aka trucks) which is 10x worse for the enviroment.
