As a Canadian, I’m envious. We have 11 daily flights between our two biggest cities, taking 1,5 hour. Or we have 6 daily trains that takes 5 to 6 hours. And freight has priority.
I know Germans like to whine about their trains being late, and AFAIK it’s deteriorating, so they are right to expect better. However, they still have the option and that must help in reducing the number of internal flights.
Meanwhile in Canada, trains are not only etwas spät, they are extra spät.
