Why train travel is better

    It’s environment friendly

    Trains (and buses) are the most sustainable means of travel, especially over longer distances, and emit significantly less carbon dioxide per person than a plane or car. By traveling by train, you reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future while experiencing incredible adventures

    It connects

    Train travel lets you immerse yourself in the local culture and easily connect with locals. Chat with fellow passengers, learn about regional traditions and customs, and sample the local cuisine offered on the train. This way, the ride becomes an integral part of your travel experience and goes far beyond just transportation
