Premise of article is wrong. Kids do get excited about the same things as adults; novel and intriguing things within reach. These things just aren't exciting any more to adults. That's the only difference. An adult that's never been on a train, but never could, or was never allowed, will find it exciting too.
- diego_sandoval 2y agoI'm still excited about flying on a plane even though I've done it dozens of times.
- black_puppydog 2y agoThe planes are okay... But the airports... omg they suck so hard. Trains and train stations on the other hand, even though I use them so regularly, are still super nice. I wouldn't say "exciting" but very nice. That's why I'm so angry that the French government and railway company keep making trains and stations more and more like airports and airplanes.
- Loughla 2y agoI love airports. The people watching there is just phenomenal. I always get to my flight like 4 hours ahead of time just to sit in the busy concourse and watch the people. They're fascinating.
- junar 2y agoIt's interesting to compare a European perspective with an American one. In the US, the train stations I've seen range from unremarkable to downright filthy. The one station I found interesting was New York Penn Station, which I would favorably rate as on par with an average airport.
- cyberpunk 2y agoEuropean airports have gone massively downhill in the last decade. Try getting a sit down meal with table service anywhere. Nope, you’re queuing for a shit, dry/soggy brötchen. The lounges aren’t even worth it anymore either.
