Five hours on a train between two cities are five hours of focused work on a laptop for me. With an enjoyable view and a lunch break.
Compare it with flight where you spend half of the time not using your laptop or without connectivity.
After COVID, how many people can do remote work? Don't underestimate the percentage of population that can use the time on a train in good ways.
- elygre 5y agoYes, that! On Monday, I will travel from Basel to Berlin. By train, that’s eight continuous hours of work or whatever. By trains it’s a bus, security controls, a somewhat stressful waiting period for birding, cramped seating, waiting for luggage, waiting for a train. The three hours saved are likely to not be all that useful, since I always have a somewhat higher stress level when I fly. So, train it is.
