Missing the point

Yes taxation rates matter. But France-Spain and France-Belgium trains are expensive to take *because the capacity is too low*

If you reduce ticket prices on those routes you WON’T TRANSPORT MORE PEOPLE. Just different people. As the trains are full anyway

So, Clement Beaune, how are you going to get more TGVs to Barcelona?

Train travel is often more expensive than flying. Could taxing aviation to invest in the rail industry help change that?

@jon > If you reduce ticket prices on those routes you WON’T TRANSPORT MORE PEOPLE. Just different people.

Yes, trains should be accessible for poor people as well. This is good?

Absolutely also build more capacity so that there's enough for everyone.

@pettter that assumes the rail company will add more capacity. Naive.
