Even if cars remain king, we see congestion increasing at a pace that road expansion cannot keep up with.
Everywhere else in the world, it is understood that alternatives need to be offered.
Passenger rail failed in North America simply because we invested so much public money in roads that private rail modernization was not possible.
Not everybody wants to drive everywhere especially as congestion increases, so investment in a better rail network will provide the alternative that is sorely missing at the present time.
