And if you have someone travelling with you, renting a car becomes even cheaper.

I guess I'm not as interested in long drives. LA to SF is 8 hours (city center to city center), well 7 to 9 depending on how you drive). I used to do that drive a lot, probably 30 times, but I won't do it anymore. So car isn't really an option for me, for that trip. It is train or plane.
Even in Europe, distances can be long. Paris to Marseille is around 10-11 hours (center to center), I did that drive last year, not my idea of fun.
