#highspeedrail — Public Fediverse posts

Airlines like #jetstar in #australia charging for a carry-on bag for weight is highway robbery. These companies need to face regulations as well as stiff competition from #highspeedrail for travel between the Melbourne and Brisbane corridor.

If your excuse is fuel and a tight margin then maybe you shouldn’t exist as a business and other options to support citizens traveling should be implemented.

Found you on Erin O'Toole's show. Thank you for talking sense, putting fair criticisms on costs and expensive policies, but still pushing back on common conservative wants to just letting the private sector do whatever also.

@GrahamDowns I love flying and I like driving, but maybe you have to experience working #PublicTransport to really appreciate how awesome it is and why property prices actually rise and do not fall 🙂

Because then also the lifestyle you describe is possible without cars and with you having to drive your kids everywhere every day.

That is actually on of the (few... 😀 ) things I am missing a lot here in #Johannesburg & #SouthAfrica in general.

When I am in #Germany, I am traveling a lot between '#Munich and #Hamburg currently (about 620km as the crow flies). I am practically always doing that by #IntercityExpress (ICE) trains, the German #HighspeedRail network. It is about 7h from door to door, approx an hour or two more than flying but a bit cheaper and much more convenient.

I buy one ticket which includes the #subway in Munich and Hamburg, I need to be at the train station only 5-10min before the train departs. I have #Wifi in the train and ample space to work, read, sleep. There is a dining car or in First Class (which is a bit more spacious) service at your seats.

Unlike when flying, I don't spend an hour waiting here, standing in the security queue, waiting an hour there, flying one hour etc.

If I miss a train, no problem, there are at least hourly connections between all major and medium sized cities (something like #RichardsBay or #Makhanda in South Africa), so I take the next one.
