Anyone know why the train from DC to Pittsburgh takes twice as long as driving (7:45 trip time on Amtrak's website vs. 4:15 on Google Maps driving)?

did anyone out there think of this before they planned it.  meetings, gatherings, or whatever you want to call it are by it's very nature prescribed to creating waste and are in my opinion extremly ungreen.  think of bathrooms toilet paper , soap, water, the heat caused by thousands of people in close proximity to others. vehicle because i am sure even if all showed up in a toyata prius with 5 people in a car it would still be a cluster. then there are the food and snack vendors ice and refrigeration needed to keep people and food cool it all seems to go against the grain of what we are trying to create which at its core is a society that in total just doesnt consume as much.

flying under the radar
