This. The business lines here in Switzerland even sometimes have a Starbucks on board. And are comfortable and classy as fuck for only like 20 or 30% more cost than the cheap seats. I've had colleagues who would actually write down the travel time as work hours.
- 6510 5y agoI don't like the idea but perhaps the service level needs to be adjusted more accurately to the audience. The rich are getting richer while everyone else is losing purchase power. I really don't like paying 2 or 3 times what a trip by car would cost. I'd prefer a 3rd class cabin with simple seats or non at all if it means I can travel where I like cheaply. Others might prefer to do more of a business class commute, at much higher rates, in comfort, with some actual service.
- herbst 5y agoIt doesn't cost 2-3 times as much. Especially as business traveller you pay a flat price lower than semi-nice car would cost per year. Many 'normal' travellers use this too. I often travel first class when I find tickets on sale. Sometimes I plan my travel around good ticket offers. 6.5 hour train ride first class for 30€ is a thing. Normal price is ~€100. Gas would be about 60€ so it is cheaper anyway as soon as you are two people.
