Intercity rail without corresponding investment in local mass transit doesn't get you a whole lot. What good is being able to take a train somewhere if once you get dropped off at the station you have to rent a car anyway? Might as well just take a plane. And if you can't afford or otherwise aren't in a position to rent a car then you're just at a train station with nowhere to go.

I don't see how this doesn't also apply to planes

It does. I was just pointing out that intra-city rail doesn't by itself really fix anything. The whole way transportation works outside of maybe half a dozen cities in the country would have to change.
