But what if it took 45 minutes to travel from the Metroplex to Austin by train

If the train runs every hour on the hour, then that's pretty convenient.

If it's twice daily then maybe it's more of a pita than driving.

Let me tell you, it’s a HUGE pita to drive that I-35 corridor. I absolutely HATE it..its a constant stop and go and heaven forbid there be a wreck to slow you down!!

It is a waste of time. You still need a car to get around Austin. Public transportation is not as efficient for the wide open layout in western cities.

I will always take my car with me. For one reason I see this money pit being a gun free zone and I always carry.

Even every few hours wouldn’t be so bad. If it was an Auto-Train type affair, where you drive your vehicle into special automobile-carrying cars, that would be just about perfect. And it would probably make a lot of money while saving Texans the long boring drive between Dallas and Austin.
