For reasons that are completely inexplicable for the railroad, users like to drag on the railroad. Now the tables should be turned around: In a competition, the Bavarian Railway Company collects good reasons for traveling by train. “In the last year and a half, train travel was mainly about masks, hygiene and not having to travel. It is high time that more was said about the benefits of a train ride,” said Thomas Prechtl, spokesman for the management, in a press release.
Well, let’s join in! There are plenty of good reasons for traveling by train, here are just a few of them:
You get to know new people – isn’t that wonderful? Hardly anything connects like a joint, extended stopover with unclear perspectives on how to continue. Or a taxi ride together if these prospects ultimately look too bleak.
You are in the fresh air – that is healthy! Well, sometimes you would rather enjoy the fresh air on a long walk, but while waiting for a connection – any connection! – In Grafing-Bahnhof you often have the opportunity to take a deep breath. That toes and fingertips become blocks of ice in the process – for free.
You can train yourself extensively! It is your own fault if you do not take enough reading material with you on a train ride. For all those who rely on digital media, an additional power bank guarantees almost unlimited reading pleasure, even if it takes longer.
You finally have tension in life again! The marriage is dreary, the job as well – a train journey offers variety. A train indicator that suddenly counts up the minutes again, an S-Bahn that surprisingly stops on a completely different track, these are the little things that give everyday life a little more impetus.
