Except that years ago there was actually a decent selection of intercity/cross country trains to take, and alas, I don't think they are coming back. I am rather impressed by the luxury buses I have experienced in Asia and I do hope a decent sized opportunity opens up for this mode of transport in north america over the next few years.
