is there a map with the served stations because in some cases it looks like you still can go to the same place but you have connections instead of direct lines ? But still kind of sad, not getting better currently, mostly because of the costs, a plane can be way cheaper than train... I don't understand why they don't increase taxes of aeroplane transports

    The basic problem is that airplane fuel (kerosene) is untaxed due to an international treaty dating back decades. It's very hard to change international treaties, especially when a politically powerful industry has a stake in them not changing.
