对于许多人来说，即将到来的假期将标志着旅行的回归。虽然有些旅行者会choose to flyor opt for a road trip, there’s a third option to consider foryour holiday travels: booking a train. Train travel offers a number of benefits that other modes of transportation do not. Hesitant to ride the rails right now? Like airlines, train lines have implemented a number of new booking and safety procedures to help protect you and your loved ones when you travel.

以下是预订下次旅行火车的一些主要原因，以及如果您决定骑车，请（安全方面）的期望（安全）。

您可以减少对环境的影响

According to the US EPA,aircraft produce 12 percentof all domestic transportation greenhouse gas emissions. Trains, on the other hand, emit significantly less carbon dioxide compared to planes. In fact, if you take a train,您将二氧化碳缩短了一半compared to a plane ride covering the same distance.

您可以节省火车旅行的时间

不仅火车对环境更好，有时还会乘火车比飞行快。当您考虑（典型的）在机场等待时间时（例如在登机柜台和/或行李袋中发现的时间，安全检查站，您的登机门，海关（国际上旅行时）和行李索赔，您都会得到大量回到您乘火车旅行的时间。另外，许多火车旅行离开并到达位于城市中心的车站，这意味着您可以通过避免交通延迟来节省更多的时间（并在您消除额外地面运输成本时节省资金）。

您可以根据容量预订火车

Traveling in the COVID era means conducting extrasafety-related research前面以确保您为旅行做出最佳决定。一个考虑因素是您在旅行中可能遇到的其他乘客数量；幸运的是，火车线路也考虑了这一点。Amtrak，例如，已经宣布limiting the number of bookingson its trains and making passenger volume available in real-time so you can view the percentage of seats that have already been booked on any given train.National Railin the UK is adding train carriages to its lines to promote physical distancing.

Here are some of the other new safety protocol and procedures train travelers can expect:

• Passengers are required to wear masks or face coverings for the duration of their train journey, as well as in all train stations.
• Limited capacity to promote physical distancing.
• 社会疏远指南和随附的车站，平台和火车的标牌。
• Some trains offer私人房间for extra space and privacy.
• Enhanced onboard air filtration systems and cleaning procedures.
• New boarding and disembarking procedures to encourage physical distancing upon entering and exiting the train.

You can get work done

在旅途中需要完成一些工作吗？在您的火车旅行期间，您不间断访问Wi-Fi(many train lines offer Wi-Fi for free!) and the seat pitch and leg room—especially if you’re used to flying in economy—is ideal for setting up a临时工作站。Plus, there are power outlets available if you neglected to charge your laptop beforehand.

… Or, you can relax and enjoy the scenery

While trains don’t offer the seat-back entertainment that flights do, they actually do you one better: Traveling by train allows you to not only gain a different perspective on the states or countries you’re traveling through, but you’ll also have the unique opportunity to take in the sights, as well. The Amtrak Cascades route from Eugene, OR to Vancouver, BC, for example, offers passengers views of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker before passing through breathtaking rainforests and cloud forests. You won’t get that experience at 35,000 feet up.
