Train or Plane? 🚅 or 🛫 ?

Which is the fastest?

Damien Lepage from Ecole Polytechnique de Louvain@UCLouvain together with NMBS-SNCB published a map comparing the two door-to-door.

This shows that for trip smaller than 450 km the trains is the fastest.

Did you know that the mobility budget could be used to buy a train ticket (within the European Union)? but not a plane ticket.

Night trains are coming back which are also a good alternative to the car (especially if you can put your own car on the train as it was the case years ago).

This could be a solution to reduce range anxiety of EV's and queues at the Tesla superchargers.

Some other news:

📌 Fastned opens its first fast charger in Belgium 🇧🇪

📌 the covid start showing his impact on the traffic (see TomTom traffic index)
