When you're talking about having states that are the size of a lot of those countries you mentioned, the sheer volume (even for short hops as under discussion here) becomes an issue.

Just my 2 cents here, but this country has the largest highway system pretty much anywhere, and anyone driving on it has to have seen all that dead space along the sides and in some areas even right down the center.
Why, oh WHY do we not have a high end rail system that quite literally runs adjacent to all these gigantic highways?
They connect every major city, it seems like a no brainer.
National rail system. Part of the National Highway system.
LEts get train-ing.
