β€œYou have fuel efficiency improvements on the order of 1% per year, and flights are increasing 6%,” says Rutherford, β€œIt's not even close.”

straight up we need to fly less overall, so think of all the things that help reduce people flying and we need to do that

but you’re right, i need to head back to see the family at christmas, look at my options

If the train was the cheapest option then that might be a relaxing travel. But it also uses holiday days you could be using for something else

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago

yep I'm only staying for 3 days so the train ride would 4-5 days and my stay would be 3 days :|

i do want to take the train up to cairns though, that seems nice

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 0 points 4 days ago

You can get a good deal if you ride-share, in this case. If you have too much luggage, the flight won't be viable either, so it seems like a doable comparison.

If I am reading the map correctly, mountains would come in the way, for a straight line path, but that is not a good enough excuse for not having high speed rail from Yelarbon to Burra, when there is a rail along the coastlines.

And since I don't know better, I am going to assume that train cost is dues to coastal maintenance costs.
