Q: Why most foreigners don't like taking train?

I talk to some of my foreigner friends and most hate train. Make me confuse.

Train is:

- cheap

- can sleep overnight

- probably best way to meet interesting people and make friends.

- can see the countryside

Most my friends prefer train, especially to meet people and develop circle of friends. I think train is an adventure and fun. But I understand maybe some you feel dirty inside.
