How is a train any different? It’s still fossil fuels.
It pulls many carriages, full of people, using far, far less fuel per passenger. It is also not unrealistic to electrify the rail network
An electric train on a renewable grid isn’t fossil fuels, and an electric train on a mixed or fully fossil grid is a more efficient use of fossil fuels.
