@albertcardona @jonmsterling @elduvelle how many people do need to depart from Barcelona to go to Berlin? I guess not that many, even if the trains are direct. Train needs mass to be efficient compared to car or plane.

@erwaks @jonmsterling @elduvelle An European-wide network organized around hubs that coordinate arrivals and departures, with single-ticketing, is all it would take. The regional trains and buses do the rest. So it doesn't matter which route one takes as long as inter-hub arrivals and departures were coordinated.

@erwaks Cheap planes also need masses, otherwise they are subsidized. @albertcardona @jonmsterling @elduvelle
