Greenpeace has a new report about missing *direct* connections between European capital cities

PDF:
greenpeace.de/publikationen/Gr

This is somehow right and wrong simultaneously. Sure, some routes we need are missing. *But* for example I’d prefer a Frankfurt-Paris every hour than a Paris-Berlin once a day…

It’s sort of like this

1️⃣ Where do I want to go?
2️⃣ Is the trip time reasonable?
3️⃣ Is there an option when I want to go?
4️⃣ Is there a direct train I can take?

I’m aware that *for some types of travellers* direct connections matter more than others. But it’s just one of many important factors.

@jon I'd stick cost in there at position 3.5, and then alternative service frequency (in case of disruption) at 3.8.
