Greenpeace has a new report about missing *direct* connections between European capital cities

This is somehow right and wrong simultaneously. Sure, some routes we need are missing. *But* for example I’d prefer a Frankfurt-Paris every hour than a Paris-Berlin once a day…
It’s sort of like this
Where do I want to go?
Is the trip time reasonable?
Is there an option when I want to go?
Is there a direct train I can take?
I’m aware that *for some types of travellers* direct connections matter more than others. But it’s just one of many important factors.
@jon ”new” train travelers want direct connections. My guess is that they think it’s like flying where the total trip takes twice as long and your luggage is lost if there is a change. The default times for changes also scare people who think up that 15 minutes is impossible. There also a fear of missing a connection. It’s possible that search sites for flights have made people think that the presented alternatives are the only ones you can take
@oskard Still don’t care. If it goes at the wrong time people still won’t take it.
