When traveling medium distances, some people prefer to fly. Others prefer to take express trains. Which do you prefer?

In my opinion, I prefer taking express trains over flights to cover a medium distance, mostly because I think that travelling by plane is expensive and should be reserved for travel very long distances considering it costs, so in the following paragraphs I will detail several reasons regarding why you would prefer taking trains over flights.

First of all, Trains have the great advantage of being less expensive that planes, and also most trains stations have a system where you pay just for the distance you traveled from station to another station, this means that whether you travelled just some couple of meters or a lot of kilometers, you are charged a fair fare.

Secondly, Baggage is something that could be either problematic or simple to handle depending on the transport you are using, Trains also have the advantage of letting you carry as much luggage as you can, on the other hand, flights charge you for luggage exceeding a certain weight, that doesn’t happen with luggage being carried on trains, that’s a pretty good reason to take trains.

Last but not least, Trains have the ultimate advantage of being friendly to the environment, new technologies developed over the last decades uses new ways to move trains apart from rails, magnetic tracks can move trains by magnetism, this impacts little to none to the atmosphere, and since it transports a lot of people in the same travel, it enhances the efficiency of energy used compared to cars or other ground transportation systems, Even though planes are also enhancing their efficiency , trains are better taking into account cost-effective energy use.

To sum up, Trains have a lot of advantages such as being inexpensive and friendly to the environment, and have a good energy efficiency, while planes though being still a good option, trains excels at luggage capacity and costs for each travel, all things considered, I would recommend without no doubt travelling by train for each of the several points aforementioned.
