It is absolutely not OK that there still is a tax exemption on any flight whatsoever.
That and the shameless dynamic pricing of trains.
No tax on airline fuel.
That’s really unfortunate.
I’m just here to applaud the mods… (See the deleted comments/spam)
Hell, it’s cheaper and faster to fly from Zurich or Munich to Hamburg via Barcelona, London or Dublin.
Those price discrepancies are genuinely shocking
It’a apples to oranges. Pricing policies are different. Only few get the cheapest airline tickets.
There is also a hidden cost from the tracks.
A rail track of 3m for 100km used for solar cells would generate enough electricity to transport 37500 passengers per plane.
Solar cells generate 2kWp per 10 square meters, which are 2MWh per year which is 5kWh per day.
300ksqm generate 150MWh per day.
4l kerosine per pessenger per 100km are about 40kWh.
150MWh are enough for 37500 passengers.
It’s not renewable but influences the economics.
*shocked pickachu
How do you need a study for that?!
