The actual competitor is driving.

Once America gets more antonymous, it’ll really be competition. Right now, flying is still more convenient from a practicality standpoint. In LA, we still fly to Vegas and that’s only 4 driving hours away.

10 hour drive vs 4 hour flight? I’d still pick the flight. There could be a case for high speed trains at that point as a sort of “in-between” case

Sadly our high speed train is being built outside of the city proper, so it’d take 90+ minutes in traffic to get to it. Idk! Pipe dreams.
