Twelve hours to get across a whole continent is fine.

I think we must stop thinking of the whole world being just a few hours away. Travel has to include some actual travelling again.

Amsterdam to Barcelona isn't crossing an entire continent, though.

And you still haven't countered his point about planes being faster and cheaper.

Let's stop being tribalists and look for real solutions to real problems, eh?
