Denmark’s energy minister called on citizens to reduce their energy use amid the ongoing Middle East conflict.
Oil prices jumped to over $100 a barrel on Thursday, raising fears of rising inflation.
“If it is not strictly necessary to drive the car, then don’t do it,” the minister stressed to Danish citizens.
Driving a car sucks more the longer the distance, as 130km/h is considered fast for a car, but pretty slow for a train. Trains doing less than 200km/h aren’t considered high speed. The longer the journey, the bigger the time advantage of a train should be, plus you don’t have to pay attention on pain of death the whole journey.
Sure, but in return you have your car when you get there. If the destination is a car centric place this saves a pile of money. you also can go where you want, see what you want…
note that I live in the us we get one train per day at 100km/h - the car is faster and cheaper. Is still use the train but it isn’t anything what you are thinking of. At least we can sleep on the train.
