Indeed, i chose this route because i traveled it quite often.

I used google flights and NS international to find the ticket prices, the price of โ‚ฌ301 was listed as the cheapest direct flight.

Yeah, I'm just saying that's not really typical or representative of every day people's journeys that aren't capital<->capital, then the train starts losing way too much in terms of costs, that's the shit part, I think a lot of people would be fine traveling by train more but when on top of having to compete with the speed of flight and the convenience of driving, but also costs more then that's fucked, we need to subsidize them more and tax airlines up the wazoo.
