Yes, but you still probably need to use a car to start the trip from
the suburbs into the cities, because there is no rail feeder system
to get the people collected from wide and far to take the lines into
the cities.

Railways can serve city centers _and_ suburban stations.

But yet, the rail freight needs to be subsidized, to stay
competitive.

No, it does not. Rail freight is very profitable. Ask the Union
Pacific, which has been making big money at it for decades.

What, you friends with the union pacific, or did you just get a new Thomas
th eTank engine set?
