   Blows my tiny mind that people still default to flying for trips within Europe (or anywhere tbh) what would they have to see to believe change mattered

     @amberfirefly a problem in Europe is that train connections tend to be poor, especially between countries and also expensive. Much more expensive than flying :( :(

     Having tried it, I found that essentially traveling by train is only possible for rich travelers.

     I believe that train connections is one of the few things that the Soviet Union did get right and I hope the EU will have affordable train trips in the future. It would increase cohesion of the union too I think.
