Which way of Travel is better?

After picking the everglades as our destination, we calculated time, cost and the environmental impact of going by car, train, plane and bus.  It turns out that the train is the slowest (65 hours), then the bus (31 hours) , then the car at 17 hours and finally the plane at 4 hour or 2 hours (1 stop over or no stop overs).  The cost was most for the train, then the plane, the bus and finally the car.  The railroad is best for the environment, plane , then the bus and finally the car. Well, its not that straightforward as the plane uses a lot more fossil fuels than the car, so I will post the link we used.
