Trains are cheaper than flights nine times out of ten
The domestic train is cheaper than flying nine times out of ten, an analysis of the price of 22,000 tickets by Echo.
The tickets were collected over eight weeks in December and January, without checked luggage but with one carry-on bag.
The train is still cheaper seven times out of ten even if you make the flight as cheap as possible and only look at the single cheapest ticket every day, reports the radio channel.
Oskar Fröidh, a railway researcher at KTH, believes that people’s perception of the price picture can be affected by the fact that aviation works more with cover prices, among other things.
– It is communicated that it is expensive to travel by train, he says.

Three out of ten long-distance trains delayed
Only about 70 percent of the long-distance trains arrived on time during the first ten months of this year.
It is a clear deterioration compared to last year.
According to the Swedish Transport Administration, one reason is that traffic volume increased again after the declines during the pandemic.
Total punctuality for short, medium and long-distance trains was 87.5 percent during January–October this year, according to Sydsvenskan, which looked at figures from the Swedish Transport Administration and Trafikanalys, among other things.
It is the lowest figure since at least 2013, if you compare the full-year figures of those years. (TT)

Violent protests have erupted in Peru since ex-president Pedro Castillo was ousted and imprisoned.
At least eight people have died, the news agency writes AP.

Awaiting word, a large group of Castillo supporters gathered in the capital Lima on Thursday evening.
According to the AP, the protesters have burned police stations, taken over a runway used by the military and occupied the runway at the airport in Arequipa, where many tourists arrive.
