My old boss thought trains were obsolete because rubber wheels on pavement was "more efficient".
the trains have steel wheels, STEEL!
Well, obviously because we have more cars now, they must be the most efficient or we wouldn't be using them. So something about rubber and road must be better than rail and wheel.
they're certainly efficient at being the world's largest source of microplastics in the water supply

they're the hecking reincarnations of freaking plato and gosh darn aristotle don'tcha know
This is literally not true, steel wheels on steel rails is much more efficient than rubber on pavement
