   @joaocosta @d3x7r0 the disparity between flying and taking rail between Lisboa and Porto really makes that point as well. I’ve taken that trip at least 40 times, and usually the flight is half the price and takes a quarter of the time. Then there’s the possibility of strikes, I’m getting saudades just thinking about it all. Now I need a super bock.

     @d3x7r0 @joaocosta Europe in general should impose taxes on tourists and direct the funds to infrastructure. Make the EITAS €14 instead of €7, that alone could generate an easy billion euros annually. I’m sure the average American would complain loudly, but that’s probably only what they spend on frappucinos in a single day.

     @AlexanderMars @joaocosta I'd be down with implementing heavy taxes in internal flights between the 3 major mainland airports (Lisbon, Porto, Faro), if that came with heavy investment to make that rail corridor better
