In Europe it is opposite, thanks to petrol taxes and road tools, flight is often cheaper than car, and always cheaper than train.
- gambiting 12y agoFlying from my city in Poland to where I live in the UK costs me 50-100 pounds,depending on the time of the year. Taking a car costs 300 pounds in fuel alone + ~150 pounds to take the ferry across the sea. Of course the car works out better than plane if you have it filled with people,but that is not always the case. >>and always cheaper than train. That is the only thing where I will disagree with you - Europe is not one large country with the same rules everywhere. In the UK trains are absurdly expensive and sometimes it's cheaper to rent a car, fill it up,drive to where you need to be and back than to take the train. But again, in some countries, like Poland, the trains are state-owned and cost tiny sums(taking a 2 hour journey costs literally a pound, taking the longest, 10 hour journey from the mountains to the seaside costs slightly more than 10 pounds).
