And would further benefit the climate change problem.

Green car outlets that people could rent to go to their business meetings and bring them back to the train depot when they're done.

Restaurants, hotels, tourist centers, amusement parks, retail stores, grocery stores all close to the train depots would be great.

This would create thriving commercial centers around the depots.

The use of private cars to get around town would diminish drastically if you can just rent one at the train depot for the occasion. Fuel wouldn't be an expense if the cars were solar powered.

Traffic would diminish and therefore pollution would diminish.

With rapid bullet trains people could live in one city and commute to work to another city and drive or ride bikes rented at the train stations.
