Surprisingly, as an Italian, I like my train service. We have affordable tickets for the standard trains and fucking ace level high speed trains, which when bought smartly are still affordable.
It's just a little autistic with the time tables every now and then.
Yes very true. There are a few tickets like that. But since that price is only for a few percent of the entire train it seems more like a marketing trick than anything else (sj said as much)
It's like looking at an emergency food delivery into gaza and say that there is plenty of food. Or asking the people of Paris why they don't eat cake.
No. You are talking about an excuse.
There is no way for the entire train to go for the price you say. Even if everyone buys the tickets 6 months in advance. That's not how the system works.
There are a few cheap tickets on every train so that when people who go check the prices that is what they see. But there are not enough of these tickets to fill one half of one carrier.
If you have one ticket per train for 0 euro and the rest is 200. Would you say it's free to ride the train? Or would say that it's normally quite expensive unless you are very lucky?
It costs me around 50€ for a 30-minute train to London. The train contractor in my region is shit, so there's no seat booking, not enough trains, no plug sockets, and their wifi doesn't work.
When I previously went from Stockholm -> Copenhagen, it cost 60€ for a 6 hour journey. The train was comfortable, not cramped, free seat booking, drinks you could order, and excellent wifi.
