They are comfy. There is nothing like looking out of passenger train on a cold winter day and seeing the snow. I believe Yasunari kawabata wrote a book that opened with that very scene. The Snow Passage I believe is the name.

Unironically, trains are the best mode of transport of a society that boths want to respect the environment, but also wants modern convenience. They can be built easier than roads over long distances and don't disrupt the environment as much as paving over a huge two lane highway would. Obviously they are more efficient as well, given the fact you don't need a single car for each person. Obviously trains can't do everything, but we'd do better with a lot more of them and a lot less cars.
