Feasible or not, what has kept you up or had you go chew somebody's ear off?

I wouldn't chew someone's ear off or anything, but I have thought about wormhole portals and trains. Teleporting trains. And you can see through the portals too.

Edit: I realized this is the public transport community, but you said feasible or not and I chose not.

I can't remember the name of it but there is a book with that exact thing in it.

Interesting. I would've picked personal wormholes, but picked wormholes for trains. Why trains?

Seriously though, I was thinking of this as more of a fictional thing (I didn't check what community I was in lol) and personal wormholes would be too convenient for sci-fi, in my opinion. Wormhole trains are like the sweet spot of coolness and convenience, and they look cool in my imagination.

Sidenote: I once had a dream (as in sleeping) where I was on a haunted space bus. Like, a bus that floated through space and even toured around planets.
