Would it be very difficult to implement a train ? The tracks are there, the trains are there, the stations are there... Why shouldn't every 30 min. a train pass a station and hold for 5 minutes. Imagine the possibilities you can get with this. For this it would be helpfull to have a Station clock which runs according to the servertime.
It also would be nice to jump off the train, with the risk of braking legs or arms.

I have to object to this suggestion. The world has set into what is essentially a zombie apocalypse, and it is highly unlikely that someone would willingly give up his/her personal safety to operate a train. Especially not on a route that repeats itself on a predictable schedule. I can appreciate your suggestion, but I just think it would take away from the overall "the world has stopped moving" feel of the game.
@Doc Nefarious, Most of the subway trains are automaticly operated systems powerd by automaticly opareted nuclear plants. The idea behind the suggestion is that this would be easyer to implement than other vehicles. And the hours of running in search of your friends is for everyone a pain in the ass.
You would have no concern getting on a train (most likely buggy)with several other strangers. It would be a killing ground. And Chernarus is obviously not a technologically advanced area of a country with self automated trains. And Nuclear power plants still need people to work them. I agree with Doc Nefarious, it would ruin the immersion. The only thing I can think of that might fit into the game is one of those Handcar trains.
And what about traveling from airport to airport? Maybe we could start our own bussiness :D for example AirChernarus :D:D:D LOL, sorry for my irony but this is really bad idea :)
