Yes. In the old times, it was the other way around. It's also interesting 
to note in The Age this week, there was a number of letters on this same 
subject. Mainly relating to cars being a ubiquitous part of society, hence 
it being okay for someone to be attached to them. Since railways were 
silently running in the background of society, it wasn't as normal to be 
attached.
