is there a map with the served stations because in some cases it looks like you still can go to the same place but you have connections instead of direct lines ? But still kind of sad, not getting better currently, mostly because of the costs, a plane can be way cheaper than train... I don't understand why they don't increase taxes of aeroplane transports
Because the ones who decide the taxes travel exclusively by plane.
it's not like they are paying for it, but I guess they get paid to be this way
The basic problem is that airplane fuel (kerosene) is untaxed due to an international treaty dating back decades. It's very hard to change international treaties, especially when a politically powerful industry has a stake in them not changing.
I knew it was untaxed, but didn't know it was an international treaty...
But what would be the consequences of not respecting that treaty, I guess there would be more than a little genocide of something
