me thinking about trains: wow i love trains it's so cool how there's a network of railways that'll take you wherever you want to go.
me on long train rides: wow i love trains it's so peaceful to look out the window and watch the world go by
me posting about trains: we need trains and we need them now. public transport needs to be a solution to the climate crisis, electric cars are not sustainable. trains are our future. i fucking love trains
me on regular train rides: damn this sucks so much

to clarify this is specifically because overcrowded trains usually involve a lot of accidental physical contact, which makes me extremely uncomfortable
you know what would solve that problem though?
...more trains

Not to rain on your parade, but would more trains reduce crowding? Seems like potentially an induced demand situation.

Still a good idea though because shorter wait times mean faster journeys
