interestingly enough, Amtrak's "city of new orleans" route from chicago down to new orleans goes
right through Cairo, but the city no longer has a stop along the route, it was discontinued in 1987, further isolating the city.
today, if you want to get to cairo without a car, your gonna have to take a very expensive cab/uber ride from a nearby place with amtrak/greyhound/airport service, gape giradeau, fulton, or paducah - all about 25 - 30 miles away.
