Definitely a modest proposal by any means, basically a subsidy for rail and a tax on domestic air travel. Probably should be done but nothing radical (but maybe what we need is less radical and more commonsense solutions). When I lived in Berlin I definitely always tried to catch the train to Munich and elsewhere, so much easier than going through security, getting to the airport, etc. I do wonder if they jacked up the tax on flights though if the subsidy to rail would actually be necessary to spur demand or if it would happen anyways.
