For an upcoming travel within Sweden Im examining tickets between the three main travel alternatives. The domestic flight is, still puzzling, cheaper than the train. Cheapest is of course the bus. However, concerning the time traveling, the bus can easily be avoided in favour for the flight. Train on the third hand, not much faster than the bus, is the most expensive alternative of all three!
Being active in this field of sustainability, I cannot remember how many times I have heard advisors, experts, researchers and activists describing the acute need for economical adjustments (correct and just pricing of polluting travel alternatives) and cultural/awareness improvements/campaignes so that train becomes both cheaper in comparison to other travel alternatives as well as more pleasant/exciting alternative to choose.
Swedish politicians - what are you waiting for? In an era of traveling lifestyles, the most CONTEMPORARY sustainable approach of traveling HAS to be promoted! Independently of short-time economical losses for the aviation industry/municipals - think alternatively - new jobs will arise from a sustainable framework - that originating from the natural capacity of our ecosystems!
