Doesn’t need a plane a lot more human and nonhuman resources to transport a person than a train or bus?
In: Economics
Well you assume it is, planes would be a pretty expensive way to travel if you only needed to go a few kilometres. So its only viable for longer distances.
And it works there because its just so much faster and only relies on infrastructure at either end. A plane in two hours can make a trip that would take a day or two of continuous bus driving, thats wages you dont have to pay and you dont have to build and maintain the sky like you do road or rails.
However planes are really only good for time-sensitive and light cargo, which people are. The second your cargo gets too heavy or you don’t care about it arriving quickly, trains, trucks and boats become way more viable options.
