Question

Read the text and mark the following statements as «True» or «False». One of the widespread myths about travelling is that trains are the cheapest way to take a trip across Europe — eventually this is not true. To prove that we have conducted a short investigation. Train tickets are becoming more and more expensive every year. A standard ticket from Frankfurt to Rome costs a minimum of $350, and the price depends on what time and day you are travelling. The recent deregulation of air transport in Europe made it possible for such ideas as low-cost airlines and increase in European destinations to come true. Low-cost airlines appeared on the market with a new business model different from the traditional ones. So flights are so cheap now you can fly from Frankfurt to Rome for just $90, and you don’t have to worry about food or drink as the trip just takes a few hours. Travelling the same distance by train takes over 12 hours, and although it can be more relaxing you will need to consider additional accommodation and dining cost if you are travelling overnight. 1) According to the text, trains are the cheapest way of travelling across Europe.— 2) Nowadays train tickets are as expensive as they were several years ago.— 3) Travelling by plane may be cheaper than travelling by train.— 4) Travelling by train will take you longer, but it is usually more comfortable compared to flying.— II.
