Stopping at every town would be insane but there is a running regional network now and if the fares were lower...
The problem with the other arguments is that relatively few people use or care about regional rail, it's just that the few that do are really vocal.
When coke changed the formula much of the protests came from people who didn't even drink it. They just felt good knowing it was available and unchanged.
Or another example inner city greenies simultaneously live as far away from the "nature" they claim to love while being the most outraged by the people who do live with it every day.
If the rail funding was redirected to air you could have one flight a day doing every 1/2 hour stop and another servicing the towns in between. That would cover enough towns to make it accessible while providing an economic quick convenient service.
And the smokers can just put up with it. What next ? injecting rooms ? "conjugal" rooms ? I want a vegan strangling room....
