Why is it SO HARD to Take a Train Across the Border? (w/Jon Worth)

from The Urbanist Agenda

The EU is heavily promoting rail as an alternative to flying and driving, but while the "big" high-speed train projects get a lot of attention, it's often maddeningly difficult to take a regional train across an EU border. Jon Worth has travelled on almost every single rail line in the EU and he has an incredible wealth of knowledge about how cross-border rail could work so much better.The Cross Border Rail Project: https://crossborderrail.trainsforeurope.eu/Jon Worth's personal blog: https://euroblog.jonworth.eu/Jon's Mastodon: https://gruene.social/@jonNot Just Bikes: https://youtube.com/notjustbikesNot Just Bikes Mastodon: https://social.notjustbikes.com/@notjustbikesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
