You have to get to the airport (without tranit) and rail stations are typically much more central.
And the reason taht we don't have decent mass transit in most of North America is because car and oil rentiers destroyed this option in the mid 20th Century.
Wasn't that smart of them. (and dumb of the rest of us)
Today, the average suburbanite spends a much greater percent of his disposable income on transporation than previous generations did. And he spends a lot more time sitting motionless in his car or SUV.
This is what a transporation system based on enriching rentiers looks like. Too many planes (some falling from the sky) and too many cars. Nothing green (or moral) here at all.

The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite.
The goal is an endless war, not a successful war.
