Even driving alone in my car is usually cheaper for the “usual” 6-12h drive distance. Let alone with passengers or if I pickup a blablacar. I’d love to do more train but it needs to be subsidized more for the prices to become reasonable, and that I can book shortly before my trips because in my branch it’s impossible for me to schedule the tickets so far ahead. I still have to deal with equipment to move around but that can be dealt with through rentals on location.
