pizzaioloTrain fares are up to 30 times more expensive than planes in Europe
Im sorry but 12$ for a plane ticket. Anywhere. That sounds either a lie or fishy.
Maybe its 12$ and then 100 for “feesl Of 70$ for any bag. Or something
Or the air company is trying to destroy trains and is flaying at a loss.
Lot of budget airlines sell cheap tickets for the last seats of short hauls in that price range.
In Eastern Europe, it’s a whole thing, people buy a cheap ticket for under 30 EUR there and back anywhere. Think like Budapest to Milan, spend a weekend, maybe not even booking a hotel.
It’s bad for the destination as well, because if you can’t pay for the plane ticket, how are you going to pay for anything else? But you still take your space in the crowd.
If that’s the case then for the purpose of the article the fare for €13 can only mislead. That is, it’s the avg ticket price that matters for comparison to trains.
The environmental problem is that the plane is taking off. If that happens, then it might as well be a fully booked aircraft.
