Still flying? Or already on the train?
Flight or train? It’s a choice business travelers face time and time again – and one with a significant impact on a company’s carbon footprint. For key business routes in the GSA region, train travel has become a true alternative – or has it not?
In our newest benchmark report, you’ll learn how travel distance impacts the likelihood of choosing trains over flights and discover how your company’s train usage compares to industry benchmarks.
Why it matters
Train adoption in business travel is far from consistent. Some routes see trains as the clear winner, while others remain dominated by flights — even when rail could be a viable alternative. Distance plays a decisive role, but it’s not the only factor. Our benchmark uncovers where the tipping points lie and how traveler behavior shifts once journeys get longer.
Choosing the train isn’t just about lowering emissions. On many routes, rail is also the more cost-effective option — with fares often significantly below those of flights. Add in the ability to work productively on board, and trains become a compelling alternative for both sustainability and business efficiency. Yet adoption still varies widely, and our benchmark explores why.
