Frequently asked questions about train travel
What's the best way to buy train tickets in Europe?
Buying train travel tickets in Europe can be done by visiting intermediary sites like Omio or Trainline or by booking directly with the national rail company like Deutsche Bahn in Germany or Renfe in Spain. When it comes to booking train travel for business trips, you can use a travel management platform like GetGoing.
Why are flights generally cheaper than trains in the U.S.?
Flights are generally cheaper than trains in the USA because fares are based on supply and demand. The more budget airlines operate, the more passengers there will be, which will help reduce the cost. In the East Coast where trains are more prevalent and there are different commuter routes that are used regularly, train travel tickets can be cheaper.
Why is train travel in the U.S. so expensive?
Train travel in the US tends to be expensive because railways are owned by freight companies, and with little or no government subsidies for passenger rail. Amtrak, the national railways, in fact only owns 630 miles of rails of the 21,500 miles of track they use to operate. Since the USA is the fourth largest country in the world with 3.8 million square miles of land, there are more rail lines needed to cover the land, which is expensive to build and maintain. With train travel being less in demand, this also means that the government is less likely to develop railways.
Is it cheaper to buy train tickets online or at the station?
When it comes to booking train tickets for business travel, you want to be sure everything is in order before departing on a trip. After taking the time to set up meetings, you can’t risk that a train is fully booked or that something goes wrong when you buy the ticket at the station. This is why it’s ideal to book online through an online travel management platform like GetGoing.
