    The xpt is kinda crap, and it’s at the point where flying is cheaper. This is only through throwing all the damage planes do into “externalities” though.

    Flying is hell, emissions wise and for those who live near airport. It’s a practice we need to move away from.

    Trains aren’t perfect, but with outlay to improve them and the lines they can become more attractive, and if flying’s cost reflects its harm the use of them will inevitably rise. Trains also service the communities they pass by, allowing them access to metro centres. Planes do nothing for the people they fly over.
