This reminds of a Washington Post article I saw [0], that made me start thinking about travel inequality (?), where someone in Podgorica is more or less cut off from the rest of Europe, while someone in Paris may have an entirely different experience.
And that's not considering differences in income... even if they have the money to travel, it's simply more difficult.

- rospaya 9y agoIt's completely true, but the article only considers trains. Some countries ignored their train infrastructure, somewhere it's hard or expensive to build it and Montenegro is both poor and mountainous, making it hard and expensive to do. On the other hand, Montenegrins are well covered by cheap flights and most of the population is within driving distance to an international airport.
