Flying is the worst too because you have to show up at minimum an hour early to get through security, then wait for the thing to show up and board, plus taxi time across the run way (some airports are awful about traffic).
Trains you just gotta get there with enough time to get on before it leaves.
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ Come to Germany. And you will be stressed. Train infrastructure is a Desaster. It’s just not flexible enough to accommodate all destinations and cargo.
Whenever something doesn’t work, then everyone claims that it is underfounded.
Maybe it’s just too complex to work properly. One mistake always starts a chain reaction and due to the centralised organisation of train infrastructure, there are not many options to solve diverse issues.
Intercity is actually a mostly enjoyable experience, if there wasn’t the horrendous price.
Regional travel though is a bad experience. Maybe not as bad as in India, or other countries with their own problems, but for European standards, it’s pretty shitty.
It depends on how many passengers it can transport in an area. Building a train infrastructure only for 100 people to use it will be less economically viable than having those people buy cars and build a road for them. It is all about perspective and every situation is different
I understand that you are joking, but when you think about it, trains aew very likely more efficient and cleaner than a human (per kill metertravelled).
We need water, cooling, rest, food (that food needs water etc etc).
You are might be right but idk. It would be interesting because by walking the humans are getting exercise. If the humans would instead by getting exercise by running on a treadmill or playing a sport the inputs wouldn’t really change. You also have to account for the environmental costs of manufacturing the train and spread that over the km per person travelled
I once saw a calculation. If someone rode a bicycle from London to Bournemouth (UK), fueled primarily by beef steak, it’s actually more CO2 emissions than driving a small efficient car. That was years ago too, so likely gotten even better.
I believe a more vegetarian based diet still wins however.
People eating a wholely natural diet and biking on cleanly made bikes is carbon neutral, most other forms of travel aren’t and won’t be as efficient because of it.
But the traveler is going to eat roughly the same amount whether he rides the bike or drives so there is little marginal carbon impacts from riding while 100% of the car emissions are marginal (since the alternate scenario produces none).

the part I think you are missing is the human can only eat so much because it takes not as long to go by car or train as opposed to walking
