Why trains are still so expensive... and what the EU can do about it

Trains remain just too expensive for a lot of travellers in Europe. Our rail expert Carlos Rico explains how we can start to close the gap between air and rail travel prices through some key interventions by the EU. While this gaps is largely caused by subsidies that keep plane tickets artificially low, targeted improvements to rail line capacity, track charges and VAT can reduce the cost of taking trains and increase the number of rail users. #sustainabletravel #traintravel #europetravel
