How Rail Ousted Short Haul Flights

 

Europeans Supporting A Ban On Short-Haul Flights

The short-haul flight ban is a massive change in European regional and international transportation. While most Europeans travel by train between countries and use intercity trains, tourists on euro trips might find train traveling challenging. Bisan pa niana, train travel is about to become the primary way of traveling in Europe, and the locals are all for it.

A recent European Investment Bank survey shows that 62% sa mga taga-Europa nagsuporta sa pagdili sa mga short-haul flights. The majority of people in Germany (63%), France, ug Netherlands (65%) prefer night trains. The challenge European rail companies are facing is providing mga tren sa pagkatulog and all the necessities that make a good night’s sleep possible while traveling. The EU is so supportive of this act, that anyone can now access Greenpeace’s interactive nga mapa sa Europe and add the train routes they would like to see created or improved.
