It's the same logic on Vancouver Island and in the Okanagan region.
Rail seems like a straight-forward solution to connect cities and towns until you realize the same cities and towns have been designed around the automobile and new developments will still need to incorporate parking solutions.
You would only get a societal shift if the powers that be stop subsidizing roads (adding a heavy cost to driving) which will never happen under our current system due to the ruling political parties that are owned by the auto along with the oil and gas industry.
