At a time when any foreign currency expense merits a previous moment of reflection, it is key for those Argentines who can vacation in Europe to plan transfers to avoid surprises. Does it suit collective, train or plane? It is not a detail to leave at random: according to the price comparison platform
Trabber.com, on some routes the savings can be even higher than 420 euros. The key is to choose a different means of transport according to the amount of kilometers that need to be traveled.

According to the report, the bus is in almost all cases the cheapest means, with a
ticket even up to 80% below the value of the train or plane. For example, while for the Marid-Paris route the bus ticket is 21.96 euros, the plane ticket is 94.77 and the train ticket 443.4. In the case of Madrid-Malaga, the collective costs? 41.96, versus? 77 and? 270 which costs by plane and train, respectively. Of course, the time factor also plays.
The study highlights the additional advantage that the bus has by not charging separately the clearance of a suitcase, which does happen in many airlines
low cost. However, it is against being the "slowest and least comfortable" means of transport. According to the report, evaluating all the factors, "the bus is the most convenient transport for routes of up to four hours, the train is in medium distance and the plane is for the distance of more than 750 kilometers onwards."

From the platform they stressed that traveling by train is the most ecological: while the plane emits 285 grams of carbon dioxide per passenger and kilometer, the bus emits 68 grams and the train, 14 grams. However, in
Trabber.com They stressed that "since the construction of high-speed trains, prices in Europe have risen quite a lot and in many cases they become more expensive than the plane."
On the other hand, the train has another additional advantage over the plane: "If you add the waiting time at the airport, security checks and the trip to the airports on the outskirts of the cities, which convert a 90-minute flight from duration on a final trip of about four hours, the train may be the best option for distance between 400 and 1000 kilometers in terms of quality, time and price. "

Finally, the report concluded that flying is the best option to travel between European capitals or between almost all routes of 1000 kilometers or more. "The great competition of the lines
low cost and the wide flight frequency makes it without a doubt an option without real alternatives. Of course, long-stay travelers with greater ecological awareness can always buy the unlimited Interrail pass, "they said.
