Bring back the intercity interurban systems that we ever so wisely abandoned,

Oh yes, and risk your life getting getting robbed.

Right.......... Happens all the time on the systems that we no longer have available to us to use.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

I agree with the interurbans.
Car rental is difficult in some sections of the country.
Many in this area are several miles from rental or dealers.

Possible. Ok, here's a thought - the Amish travel all over the place w/o cars. If they can travel 100's of miles w/o a car or even a license, the means exist.

That's a good point. I used to follow a van full of Amish folks that worked at the market in Germantown MD on their way home every Friday evening. They had worked out some arrangement whereby some guy with a twelve-passenger van would drive them back and forth between Lancaster and G-town (can't imagine doing that on a regular basis...they probably could make a quilt each way, lol). Anything can be done I suppose...

Amish carpenter that works on my place is going with his family from PA to south of me in VA for family thing in a week or so. Quite a few used to commute to the DC area for work. When I was out in Colorado, there was a 12-pass or larger van at one of the museums we visited that was a driver and entire clan of Amish. They get around.

They don't have trains or buses between SC and Kentucky?

Apparently the Boarder Patrol in Kentucky prevents their entry.

I guess they don't want anyone stealing their blue moons.

The drive from Savannah<GA area to central Kentucky can be made obeying speed limits in 10-11 hours using I16 and I75.
Bus schedule the same trip at 20 hours. Amtrak would go north to D.C., 12 hours if lucky then after waiting and transferring it is
another probable 10 hours to Cincinnati , Ohio with a bus trip of various length to where you are going in Kentucky. It is at
least three hours to Lexington or Louisville.
By air the actual flight time of one hour and forty five minutes from where I live, 45 minutes west of Savannah to my daughters
house in Kentucky, an hour and a half east of the Lexington airport took 9 hours total.
The Kentucky boarder (sic) guards will let any body in that might bring money into the state.

Faster, if they bring a horse with them.

Someone was unhappy with the to, too, two, II , 2 thing a little earlier in this topic.
I wonder what they think of this?
It did start with posts about cars,

The drive from...

Could you just wire her the money?

"Her" who? Unless "Her" means the state because the state is "who" gets the money.
Just ask the count. Then it, the monet, probably goes to Freedonia to pay for the retirement of Rufus.
Or something like that.
Do you think the rain will hurt the rhubarb?

"Her" who?

Your daughter in Kentucky.

237 miles on a charge?
How quick does it recharge fully?

The on-board charger provides up to 4 EV miles per hour of charging.

237 / 4 = 59 hours, 15 minutes.
