A2. Probably travelling with my family last year via train through #Germany. It was nice to see the landscape go by, and the kids had a good time - and it was environmentally friendly and really time-efficient!

replying to @aTravelCompanio @aTravelCompanio @tangenghui I think that 'waiting times' for trains varies a lot by countries. Late in the US, Fairly well on time in Portugal & Precisely on time in Switzerland & Germany - loads of examples around the world. 'Waiting' can also be part of the experience #TTOT

@SonjaSwissLife @tangenghui ..... And if you put two strangers together in this way, eventually they will start talking to each other (it's just human nature).

A1: I love to watch the countryside.
Train tracks show the diversity of a destination. Sometimes it's parallel to a road or river, it goes through cities and sometimes it's in nature.

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @tangenghui It sure is. but sitting at a station for 24 hrs, great afterwards though š #ttot Hey Europe, no problem. Africa. waited for a train in DRC for 2 days and walking would have been faster š¤

A1 Yes. Packing a lunch on regular #trains is sometimes the best idea. I read in the US that Amtrak is reinventing their dining car to a more convenience (but not necessarily tastier food service). #TTOT https://t.co/sdPok1A9hq

@lingointransit Same here. it's very relaxing.
Though I like driving myself as well, I do miss looking at the scenery then. #ttot

You always have to be vigilant on public transportation no matter where you are & you have to find ways to avoid it. It even happens in Switzerland - more so at stations where people are distracted. Sad but true part of ALL travel even on flights #TTOT https://t.co/fhUvWM9xrg

Seeing nature and not the tail-lights of the car in front.
Plus, trains sometimes go where roads don't.

A3. Subsidise / lower the cost of train travel, to compete with cheap short flights (bad for the #environment, at the moment. #ttot )
In #Luxembourg, public transport is free!

A3: As an American living in Japan, I have become spoiled by efficient, high-speed train travel. I'd LOVE to see it in the U.S., but I know there are a LOT of obstacles to making that happen. #TTOT
