There's a difference between "accept the cost etc" and being treated like
**** by robbers.

Let me quote you:-

You make it sound as though rail is the only form of travel. There are
coaches, taxis, private cars, etc. Even helicopters. You presumably chose
rail because it was the best compromise.

It would be nice to hear of a mass transit system anywhere in the world
that is economical to use, not crowded at peak times, and not subsidised.
