BREAKING: We have sent a letter to decision-makers across Europe.
Along with 80 organisations, our demands are simple:
1. Ban private jets
2. Ban frequent flyer programs
3. Tax frequent flying

should get them to pass a law to make trains not suck; how is it that trains are so expensive in Europe compared to planes? When I lived in Dresden 20+ years ago there were cheap sleeper trains that went everywhere, my understanding is those are gone and replaced by “high speed” trains that are a multiple more expensive.
(Not to mention Amtrak in the U.S. which seems to be designed by someone who hates passengers)
Here is a direct link to the letter mentioned in several languages:
