Maybe you will think that “it is slow to travel by train”, but the fact is there are many train’s advantages. We would like to introduce to you 10 reasons to travel by train in Vietnam.
1. Money savings
Compared to plane, train travel is much cheaper. Especially if you take a longer route, the difference is greater in the price.
The same route for the departure and arrival, the train will have to take a longer path than the plane, but in return, tourists can freely admire the change of the scenic from a place to the other ones.
Moreover, traveling by train we can still get the discount for children, students, soldiers, and so on.
2. Stable fares
If you use plane regularly, you will see the complexity of the fare structures for this kind of transportation. Meanwhile, the train fare tends to stabilize from day to day. Though it departs at night or in day time, on Mondays or at weekends, the train fare is still the same.
But there is sometimes an increase of the train fare on the special holidays and the new year, but not much difference and tend to return to the old price when the holidays are over. That is why we can say the train fare is stable.
3. More luggage
This is especially beneficial if you travel a long day and need to carry much luggage, as well as the gifts for your relatives and family members. If traveling by train, you are allowed to have 20 kg of the luggage.
4. safety
Rail transport is a quite safe mean of transportation because it runs on its own rail ways. So you can assure that
you will get to your destination safety.
5. Less hassle
If traveling by plane, you will have to be at the airport 1 -2 hours to do all procedures. Traveling by train in Vietnam, you just need to arrive earlier 15-30 minutes and sit in wait until the train departure.
6. Friendly environment
Trains are more energy-efficient per passenger mile than planes or cars, making them one of the most eco-friendly transportation options around (short of walking or riding your bike!). Carbon emissions from trains are less damaging to the environment than those of airplanes because train emissions are not released directly into the upper atmosphere. As a bonus, the relative energy-efficiency of trains means that the industry is less vulnerable to increases in fuel prices – making train fares more stable in an unstable economy.
7. Door-to-Door Convenience
Unlike airports, train stations are often situated in populated areas or city center. Instead of taking an expensive airport cab ride from miles outside of town, you can step off your train and be just moments from your hotel.
8. Comfort and Relaxation
Rather than have to take the seat on an airplane or car, you can relax in comfort on board. You will have much
more space on train.
9. The classic attractions
For romantic passengers, traveling by train will be particularly interesting. The era of ceramics and the coach has passed, but on the night train, you can still see the image of a trolley loaded with food ready to serve. During the day, you can be with the other passengers playing cards, reading books, watching the scene outside the windows.
10. Not only is the transport
Itself every train and its route has also become a tour. Roadmap for the longer, the more you experience the atmosphere and scenery of many lands. Average speed of the ship will become advantages when the train passes scenic areas, these slopes and winding mountain pass beneath a turquoise sea…
