Nowadays I live in a city with a tram system, trains to other larger cities and bike lanes.
If you are going from one city centre to another, during the day, the train is the best choice.
If you are moving within a bike-friendly city, bike is best (or Uber, but it is banned here). If you are somewhere in an urban sprawl, it's car or Uber.
I definitely find trains useful, but I think that they are consistently overrated by people for emotional and irrational reasons. I personally use trains for maybe 1% of my journeys and trams for 0% despite them being extremely prominent in my city.
