Europa
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! It's a really good idea!
Nice! I just signed it. You can sign it with your eID and your smartphone, even in Germany!
commenting to boost this, only 1 million signatures required and this is an incredible idea
just bring be 1950 trains. their tickets cost 1/3 of high speed train ones and are just 25% slower. but still agree, if the goal of this is to abolish planes. baby steps i guess
That sounds like a great idea for most EU countries.
For countries like Malta, Cyprus, Ireland and Finland, that might become very expensive.
well, one could opt for seamless rail-to-ferry interchanges for these specific cases
in the case of Finland, a rail-on-ferry option could at least be considered, that country has a rail network of its own, after all
I've had a pleasant experience with rail-on-ferry when I traveled to Sicily. It probably wouldn't work for Finland, however, as their train gauge is 1522mm rather than the common 1435mm.
Rail-to-ferry should work, however. Stockholm has very pleasant ferries to Turku and some that take a little longer to Helsinki. Both should help connect Finland.
