Can I use the word 'also' like this?

Solution 1:

'Also' in this sentenced is used as a comparison. You're saying that the train is also suited for long distance travelling however, you haven't stated that the car is suitable for long distance travelling and therefore, you have no comparison to your 'also' thus deeming the usage of also not effective. Additionally you use, 'whereas' which is used to say that something is either better or worse than the other thing which you have stated, this also contradicts your usage of whereas.
