Typical politician-think..
Thing is, people in major cities rarely need to travel to other major cities, and people outside major cities most often need to travel to the closest major city.. (dane, works in nearest major city, 30 km drive from home)
- easytiger 7y agoYea. Sounds like pointless grand standing. A country of about 5.5 million people. About half all live near one particular city. 2.7 million people have a job. Most of those live near the place they work. Tourists aren't going to these places No indication that the inter city links are operating anywhere near capacity, or there is a real need to do this. Are politicians tired of having to go back and forth from the capital to their region perhaps?
- KozmoNau7 7y agoThere is a lot of traffic between Copenhagen and Aarhus in particular, and from most of the major cities to Copenhagen Airport. A good proportion of that traffic is by car, and by reducing train travel times, it becomes more desirable to take the train and leave the car at home.
- mrweasel 7y agoPrecisely, the money would be better spend on more bus routes. If you really want trains, then build more local networks, busses would be cheaper and more flexible though.
- KozmoNau7 7y agoBuses get stuck in traffic, unless you invest in dedicated bus lanes, and even then they inevitably have to interface with regular road traffic (and traffic jams) at some points. Trains are faster, safer, more spacious, more comfortable and much less affected by congestion.
