Today, France has banned domestic flights for journeys possible in less than two-and-a-half hours by train.
France also aims to get 9% of the population on bicycles by 2024, up from 3% (The Netherlands is already at 27%).

@DTJackson a good policy, although two things should be noted :
1. The citizen convention for the climate, who originally proposed the mesure, was advocating for 4h, not 2h30. (Proposition SD-E2, p253 on the final report)
2. The government sadly broke its own commitment this morning, just after the application of the law, by using a jet for a 1h-long flight. This feels very odd for us, no government position should justify such a privilege.
