BEST APARTMENT HOTEL IN TRICHY
There are a few commonly
acknowledged Maduraa.in advantages to train travel: It
is much less stressful than plane travel (no TSA!) and it gives you time and
space to read, sleep, watch movies or get work done — big advantages over cars.
It keeps you off the roads, meaning you’re
less likely to be subject to rush-hour traffic jams or construction. And
depending on the route, it can be cheaper (especially once you add in the cost
of the plane with getting to and from the plane, plus parking).
On a recent trip, I opted to take the train
for 19 hours rather than a two-hour flight, a layover and one-hour flight,
because all told, even though flying was “faster,” I would end up traveling for
about nine hours (taking travel to the airport into consideration, plus all the
transfers and the layover time.) I knew from experience that between the lines
and boarding and bag wrestling and train-to-subway-to-light-rail-to-plane I
would be totally stressed out. Taking the train meant a 10-minute commute to the
station and then I was off to my destination. It would take longer, but the
time en route would be enjoyable, as opposed to almost 10 hours of
what I consider to be nerve-wracking travel via plane (or more if I missed a
connection somewhere).
But more than avoiding the pain and stress of
plane travel (not to mention the crazy-packed jets and the fact that my
just-a-bit-taller-than-average self is never at all comfortable in plane
seats), train travel allows me to move around more like people historically
have — while seeing what was in between point A and point B.
