minus-squareFermatsLastAccount@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·1 year ago think we should ban a lot of flights that can be serviced with quick alternatives Doing that without actually bringing down the train fares would be frustrating. Budget airline tickets in Europe are ludicrously cheap.
minus-squareciferecaNinjo@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoGood point, because we rely on what little competition there is to get reasonable pricing.
minus-squareHyperreality@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoWithout bringing down train fares, people will drive. Better than a plane, but not great either. In the past I’ve found it’s faster to drive 600km or even more than take a flight. Cheaper than the train too.
