Amen. IMHO for short hauls to mid range it can't come soon enough. But I really don't think the efficiency is there for hauling people much over 500km or 300 miles. It just looks like it is. But the wasted time has a worth and therefore a cost, too. In less developed places, it still might be economically sensible? But in the developed world, our time is worth too much all by itself.
