People often discuss about best transportation. Here I have written my experience about air, train, and bus travelling
Speed:
Air Travel: Generally the fastest option for long distances, especially when traveling between cities or countries. Distances like 100km or 200km might not be fastest as you have to check in 3 hr prior your schedule time.
Train Travel: Can be fast for shorter distances between cities with well-developed high-speed rail networks.
Bus Travel: Slower than trains and planes, suitable for shorter distances within a city personally I would never prefer travelling in bus from one city to another.
Cost:
Air Travel: Can be expensive, especially for last-minute bookings, international flights, or premium cabins.
Train Travel: Prices vary but are often competitive with airfare for shorter distances or when booked in advance.
Bus Travel: Usually the most budget-friendly option, particularly for short journeys.
Comfort:
Air Travel: Offers various classes with varying levels of comfort, but long-haul flights can be tiring due to confined space.
Train Travel: Provides more legroom and the option to move around, making it comfortable for many passengers. I love train journeys for that.
Bus Travel: Not at all confirtable due to limited space and longer travel times.
Accessibility:
Air Travel: Requires airports, which may be located far from city centers. Security and check-in processes can be time-consuming.
Train Travel: Train stations are often located in city centers, providing easier access to urban areas.
Bus Travel: Typically offers more flexible routes and can reach destinations that are not served by trains or planes.
Environmental Impact:
Air Travel: Tends to have a higher carbon footprint, especially for long-haul flights.
Train Travel: Generally more environmentally friendly, especially when powered by electricity or cleaner fuels.
Bus Travel: Has a moderate environmental impact, with emissions varying based on the type of bus and fuel used.
Luggage Allowance:
Air Travel: Airlines often have baggage restrictions, and excess baggage fees can apply and trust me some ti.e baggage fee can be as much as your flight ticket for domestic flights.
Train Travel: This is the area where no other transportation can fight with trains. People can carry almost anything in their luggage.
Bus Travel: May have limitations on luggage space, and passengers are usually responsible for their bags.
Convenience:
Air Travel: Fast for long distances but involves security checks, potential delays, and time spent at airports.
Train Travel: Convenient for city-to-city travel, with shorter check-in times and less hassle.
Bus Travel: Simple and straightforward for short journeys but can be slower and less comfortable.
I have described All the factors between air, train and bus but when it comes to my choice I always look forward towards train journeys because in train I feel like home. I book air ticket on Journeys that take more that 12 hr and I never prefer bus as I said it above.
