Even if i like driving cars so much, i think that trains are still the best option, here is why:
💚 eco-friendly
🌐 wifi, useful if you want to spend some time working
🫂 meeting new people
🏞️ sightseeing, from the windows you can enjoy mother nature
🫰less expensive, not all the time but most of time

Trains! I love trains so much; I can't think of a con with them. My worst is probably cars but I hate planes almost equally.

There is nothing as satisfying and confortable as building your product in the train 😎
I think it’s an interesting question, because each mode of transportation has its advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I prefer to travel by train when possible, because I find it more comfortable, affordable and reliable than cars or planes. Also, I like to enjoy the scenery and relax or work during the journey. However, I understand that sometimes the train is not an option, either because of the distance, availability or time. In those cases, I choose the plane for its speed, safety and variety of destinations. I only use cars when I want to have more flexibility or travel with more people. What about you? What do you prefer and why?
@pedro_de_la_nube i agreed with your usage pattern a lot! cars and very good gor flexibility otherwise trains are just the best for me 🔥
Definitely planes, it saves ton of time and time is money :)
@vladimir_zivkovic the airport procedures takes a lot of time though. For short trips (2/3 hours) travelling with trains is much faster i think

I completely agree! Trains are my go-to for all the reasons you mentioned. Plus, I find them more comfortable and less stressful than planes.
Trains definitely, because you:
- can enjoy the trip outdoor
- work for real (with headphones and noise reduction, better)
- walk when needed
- go to the restaurant wagon
- are less stressed vs plane

Planes or cars 4 sure!
Planes, time is saved like a magic.
No, hard and fast choice. It depends on the distance I have to travel.
i have recently used a car service from https://www.jimmybrittchevrolet.... They have experienced drivers as well as perfect and valuable cars.
Of course i would like to have a car and particularly i would like to have RV, more place the better. I think that rvs give you sorta freedom from government and you can go anywhere you want. But of course you need to prepare rv, because you need to feel yourself really free from anything. Like sun screen for rv awning is may be a thing, if you want to have good place to live
Trains are great when there are no strikes 🙃

Trains are not a huge thing in my country like they are in Europe. I've never even been on one and don't think the vast majority of my friends/acquaintances have in Canada either.
But, if they were popular like they are elsewhere, it would be a great option I would definitely use.
Right now though, planes are cheaper than road trips if you're doing it solo. So have to go on planes (I am also rather impatient with driving).
@carter_barnett it is true that in north america people usually take planes or cars to travel, trains are not that common 🚂

Trains, I love creating memories and aesthetics of trains.
For distances of a few hours definitely trains. They are a great way to commit time and not waste precious hours. The car is convenient because it allows you more autonomy, but the train is definitely better for everything else!
Making progress on your product while relaxing in a train car is the best of both worlds.
