apparently if i drove all my train trips using a dacia sandero instead of trains, it would end up costing somewhere around 7.7k EUR just in fuel costs

can you believe some people drive cars voluntarily

like that doesn't even include the cost of like, insurance, toll roads, and everything else

and for comparison, all my interrail passes so far have cost me approx. 2700 EUR (+~500 EUR for seat reservations on sleepers) for the same amount of travelling, and i didn't have to be stuck in a small metal box with no toilet nor snack bar

@ptrc @jeder but also adult people more often have families.
If it's a couple traveling, car expenses stay the same but interrail increases by 2x.
If they also have a kid... etc.
Also with small kids you cannot really afford some kinds of connections.
And if it's a family traveling, this also often means luggage, and trains are not very luggage-friendly when you have a lot of interchanges.
