This argument of “cars are bad bc we move two tons of steel for one person” is totally wrong.
The number for trains/buses is likely worse.
Even worse if you attempt to drastically increase their modal share (-> lower load factor).
Also, planes would be most ecological.

Fuel Cell trains are coming to south GER from 2024 on two lines east of Munich!
While one of the lines is one of the most suitable for FCEVs (long, slow), the other line makes no sense in our view and the FCEVs are a waste of money. BEVs would be better
