Tradition
Rail and Watercraft are seen as symbols of an earlier, simpler era. The fact that they are less common in everyday life makes them more appealing. Excursion railroads operate purely on this principle, with fast enough speeds, and multiple tiers of service rail and ferry can get commuters, business travelers from point "A" to point "B" while also functioning as an attraction in of itself.
