Behind the trend

In the wake of the pandemic, people are looking for ways to travel with the smallest ecological impact. They’re choosing trains as their primary form of transportation—and boasting about it!—leading to a new term: “train bragging.” As countries add new train routes, introduce sleeper cars and make some journeys free, train travel seems to be just the ticket in 2023.²
