题目内容:
Train travel is becoming more popular. Amtrak, the US. national passenger rail company, reports that rider ship(公共交通工具的客流量) continues to grow each year. The passenger kilometres and numbers of passenger journeys are also increasing. There’s every reason to believe train travel will continue to attract more passengers as fuel prices climb.
As you plan your vacation, you’ll need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of train travel. Here are some things that you need to keep in mind.
Train travel is fast and direct between major cities, especially in countries with high-speed trains. It’s relatively easy to book a train trip. In many countries, you can book your tickets online or go to a train station to buy them. For single or couple travelers, travelling by train can be much less expensive than renting a car, especially when you consider the cost of fuel and tolls (通行费).
However, train schedules may not match your preferred travel times and days, so you might have to change your trip. This is especially true for long-distance train travel in the US. You may have to get off the train at midnight in a small station in an empty town in order to make a train connection.
You need to bring your own food and drink onto the train as the food and drink served on trains can be expensive. Conditions on the train may be crowded, dirty or uncomfortable, especially at busy travel times or in developing countries.
In the end, you’ll need to do some research on train ticket prices, check schedules against your own plan and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of train travel against your personal preferences.
