There are many reasons to travel by train: it is a comfortable, efficient, and often more affordable way to get around. Here are seven good reasons to choose to ride the train for your next journey.
Respect the environment. The train is one of the most ecological ways of collective long-distance transport. It consumes far less per passenger than any planes, buses or cars. If you want to limit your carbon footprint as much as possible, this is the ideal vehicle to make your journey eco-responsible.
Relax. In a train, you can sit quietly in your seat with no external interruption. With no need to focus on driving, you can now catch up on reading, watching videos or sleeping.
Arrive on time. Unlike planes, cars or buses, trains do not suffer from traffic and rarely from bad weather or railway problems. Unless you are in an area where the rail network is in poor condition, you won't have to worry about delays or cancellations that could disrupt your schedule.
Enjoy the company. Whether you are traveling alone or with others, this is an opportunity to chat with your companions or make friends for a drink, a card game, a trip, or even more.
Discover the panorama. The train has a strong romantic dynamic in its cadence, which allows you to see rivers, mountains and other marvelous landscapes pass by throughout the journey. Seeing the terrain evolve while passing from one region to another allows us to soak up the place upstream and prepare ourselves internally for our destination.
Travel fast and cheap. The train has the double advantage of being fast and affordable in most countries. What makes it even more practical is its anchor points, generally located in the center of towns, which are easy to access.
Enjoy comfort. The seats are more spacious than elsewhere, you are allowed to bring your own food, wifi is often available and there is enough space to stretch your legs.
In short, the train is an experience in itself that deserves at least one trip in this mode. We have a soft spot for old, breathless trains sputtering their exhausted cry across the scenery. In the depths of a region where novelty is not in order, we follow the haunting rhythm of the locomotive, and the gaze discovers and evolves with the changing landscape, with each new painting that passes.
