This falls apart as soon as high-speed rail comes into play. I've done multiple train trips that outpace car trips primarily cause the train goes faster than the car.

Honestly no matter how fast the trains go, I won't get home faster than when I use my car. You may, and many others may. The train I have to use connects two major cities. That connection is fair I need to change to several busses though to get from door A to B and that messes things up.

Trains are great if you live in the cities they go through but you can't gave trains go through all cities let alone villages
