Ok, then make the trains a public service, collect taxes for it and make puplic transport free.
Analogous to the whole “piracy” discourse: Manage more media like libraries.

And poverty, car crash deaths, lung cancer from pollution, etc.
Honestly a similar solution can work for media, we can use government to fund many small creatives and studios, breaking up publisher monopolies and possibly even doing some social good by allocating specific funds to black/white/native/hispanic/whatever creators to not only encourage creative endeavors for all communities but also build lasting cultural heritages.
That would require the government to work for the people, instead of against them, though, so I doubt we’ll see it anytime soon.
