Makes a lot of sense to me. E.g. in India, travelling by air between two major cities that is less than 300Kms apart takes roughly 4 to 5 hours - 1 hour to travel to the airport (if you are lucky) that is often on the outskirts of the city, 1 hour for security frisk, check-in and boarding the flight, half an hour to 45 minutes of actual flying, half an hour to get out of the airport, and another hour (or two) travelling back into the city. A train journey between the same cities may take 5-7 hours (or 7-9 hours at night) but is often more comfortable, relaxing and cheaper because the railway stations are inside the cities and getting in and out of the railway stations and trains are much, much faster and less stressful.
