Every time I take an airplane, I feel tired and worn out. I don't want to do anything for the rest of the day except take a nap.

Trains are no problem.

The main reasons might be relatively low oxygen at altitude (cabins are usually pressurized somewhere between 1/3rd to 1/2 atmosphere) and uncomfortable seats. But I think the whole dreary process of getting on and off the airplane is part of it, too. Train stations are so much more low key, even in large metropolitan areas.

Yeah, but i can get shit faced at the airport and on the plane, but i do that in a train and people start throwing coins at me

Rail is hard if it's from one country to another (I think Europe is the exception)

In my case, I have to take rail from Ankara to Edirne, Edirne to Bucharest, Bucharest to Vienna, and after Vienna I can access anywhere in Europe

The problem is, going from Edirne to Bucharest requires two visas

And for one more added bonus we wouldn’t have to fix the problems with air traffic control

Rail doesn't work to solve most transit issues. I say this as someone in the area of NJTransit. I know why SEPTA is able to cut 45% of their train service - it doesn't do the job.We just need a lot more buses, nationwide.

based.

I mean, some of this is just silly and entirely based on the locations involved. For instance, a flight from Chicago to Florida is going to be cheaper and faster than Rail, and you’re not going to just hop off wherever the hell you want. And no you can’t just hop on the next one, you miss your train departure and you’re SOL.

I do also question the “safety” aspect. I’m pretty sure both trains and planes have extremely high safety rates, and are pretty much on par with each other.

Also… why is “on the ground” a bullet point? You’re on the ground 99.9% of your life, you telling me it’s not cool as shit to be flying through the air?
