do you like take a train or airplane if on the same price?

hi buping, i will take the plane. i will not only save money but the most important element is time. with the current economic situation, air businesses offer promo fares. you just have to be updated to catch latest offers. i love riding the plane. have a great weekend!

If the price is the same to bring me to my destination, I would go for airplane because it is faster and more comfortable. I feel both modes of transportation have risks where I rank the risk of travelling in train to be higher than airplane.

I prefer airplanes over trains. Train service in my country are quite bad and unreliable, it always delay all the time and the railroad is not high tech yet, so it takes too much time to travel by train. Airplane is much reliable since it is fast, comfortable, and you practically can sleep well on your seat. I agree with you that if the scenery is so beautiful and I'm not in a hurry, I might take train to go out of town. I tried the Eurostar when I visit Paris from London, and it is amazingly fast, although the seat is not that comfortable. I wish my country could have train that fast :(

I would definitely take the plane... Long land trips makes me feel seasick/carsick/// plus it takes a lot of my time... I hate looking outside while travelling... so planes would work better for me

Hi buping, well even if the price for both is the same, I guess I'll still prefer the train, not to view the scenery or anything. But simply because I am too scared to get on a plane. Always paranoid of something might go wrong.And it's more scarier since you have lesser chances of survival just in case some engine on the plane broke. I just find it really really scary.

For me it would depend on the distance to the destination from where i am and also how quickly i need to get there, which would decide whether i take a plane or a train.

I will definitely fly unless it is a vacation and the scenery of that particular place is worth enjoying from a moving train.

Here in Ireland,most business travel would now be by road as rail rights of way here were dismantled and built over with the increasing popularity of the car..Most of Northern Ireland's local rail network was gone by the early 1960's,though distinctive features and buildings are still evident..The Irish Republic retained rail for long distance travel,and I recently heard of a stretch of disused line to Dublin having been reopened and brought back into service there! as there would be a lot of business taking place with England,Scotland,and Wales,Air travel here would be a business mainstay,especially with the budget airlines being so commuter friendly for travel to London..It would not be possible to get to London as cheaply as You could do by budget airline by any other means of transport..It would mean a long coach trip broken by a ferry Journey (probably the next cheapest method) or a train Journey on the other side of the water..(Probably most expensive)..Fortunately,I don't need to travel for business reasons!

I would definitely like to travel by a plane if teh fare for both the modes of communication are the same. Travelling by a plane would definitely take less time and who would a stupid person to travel by train if it costs the same amount. I do have certain instances where I have to travel by train. It is because, when I am travelling to my hometown, there is no airport. So I have to land up at a place which is 200 kms away from my hometown. Then again travelling from the airport to my hometown by train is another issue. So in these cases, I prefer travelling by train so that i can travel directly to my hometown.

This is an easy choice for me. If the train and airplane tickets have the same price, be sure I will choose the airplane. I am not afraid of taking the airplane. On the contrary, I think it is a safe way. I don't have to spend longer time on the way and it saves lots of time. And the environment and service are better in the airplane. I love China

Hi buping! I don't especially like to fly either! And I don't travel very often, but when I do travel since the prices of trains and planes are pretty much the same I do choose to fly! As much as I hate flying it is the faster route! I just took a trip about a month and a half ago and I did fly and it really wasn't all that bad! I hadn't flown in about ten years! And now I am going to fly again in the next few months! I am not as afraid now so I know that I will be a little more at ease on my next trip!

hi buping you know what i prefer airplane because i never saw an airplane and i never ride from that kind of vehicles, however when I'm, a child every time i see an airplane i told to my self that is a big bird i like to ride with that bird but now I'm mature now i know the airplane is not a big bird is air plane. but still now my dream is to ride in airplane. i don't thing if the danger the important to me is my dream is coming true but cannot afford to ride in airplane i have no money I'm poor people but i hope someday i ride from air plane!

i would love taking the train mainly because i've never been on one. i've been on a plane a few times but it wasn't too fun. I think the train would be very relazing with nice scenery.

This is a very common question.An airplane will save us more time.If i go to do some business,i will choose airplane.On the other hand,train seems more safe.Some fear to stay up in the air.So if i have enough time,i will choose a train.

I like the plane better than the airplane cause its fast and I love seeing or watching the clouds it feels like i am flying. hehhe

Personally, I prefer the ground. Flying is actually the safest form of transport, or so they say, but if I could take a train everywhere I would. The ground being closer to home than the sky. Know what I mean ?

If I have the option and the prices are comparable, I will always take the train. You can see more, and experience more than you can on a plane. I definitely prefer the train.

Hi Buping, For me, i love to take plane. I always take plane back to my hometown once a year. That is the only communcation tranport to my hometown from the place I am staying currently. Taking a train is pretty fun too, we can enjoy the nice view and see more things outside the window. Can enjoy a fresh air and maybe some nice food at some pit stops. I used to take train to my grandma's hometown when I was a kid. The train will stopby several small towns and they also plenty of nice food sell outside the train. Therefore ,taking train is quite fun if we were travelling in group even better,can chit chat along the way up to the destination.

I take airplane only in time of emergency. But i would prefer train because you can see beautiful views while on your trip.

It depends on what I have to do and where I am going. If I want to travel to another place for pleasure, then train is my choice. I can enjoy the trip, watch the scenery, catch up on my reading etc. But if I have to go somewhere for business reasons, then the plane it is. Assuming of course, that all other things are equal.
