You wouldn't need to maintain as many roads if you converted some percentage to rail (which is much cheaper to maintain) so it could be an investment
Why would people have fewer destinations that they are trying to reach? Or is this just "you don't have to maintain them as roads, now you have to maintain them as railroads lol" sophistry
As he said, rail is cheaper to maintain than roads. So the roads you replace with rail result in a net reduction of maintenance costs
