Disaster resistant - Less traffic in the system means less impact of disasters. Time tested - rail has been used for longer than cars/busses. Cost effective - After a large initial investment the large capacity of the system compensates for the large cost. Idiot proof - this does not exist, but rail gets close with a lot of added control and safety systems to improve safety and reliabillity.
