Everyone is looking for a slightly different product, but edge case can tell you a lot about market conditions.
A highly optimized overnight train to Disneyland should look different than an optimized overnight train to Chicago.
- MomsAVoxell 1y agoYet .. both cases have a destination.
- Retric 1y agoA stop sure, but the vast majority of people would want a round trip to Disney. Chicago is likely a stop along a longer journey and a significant number of passengers would happily skip it allowing for more freedom in timing.
- MomsAVoxell 1y agoCool. Now you’re no longer discussing the nature of the product of rail transportation, but rather the nature of consumers’ free will. Either way, if you got on a trip to Disney and ended up in Chicago, would you say that the rail company delivered the product as promised?
- Retric 1y agoFor people starting in Europe probably not, but the trip may have been wacky enough they don’t mind. Leisure isn’t about the destination.
