Greenpeace InternationalIf trains are the greener option, why are we basically being punished for choosing them?
The difference in trains vs planes ticket prices isn’t a coincidence, it’s the result of a transport system that rewards pollution.
derptron@greenpeace Maintenance might have an effect here. All sorts of bogus stuff happens to those tracks. I knew a guy that worked that field and he was very unhappy with the budget and disappointed the company didn't spend way more on that shit. He actually didn't ride trains, as a safety measure.
rood@crazyeddie @greenpeace with lower cost and greater ridership the number of trains increases. Closing out ubiquitous air traffic with increased rail usage makes for a more cost effective railway system.
