More trains, reliable timetables and cheaper tickets: this is the Green answer to growing air traffic in Germany. "By 2035 we want to make domestic flights obsolete as far as possible," said the Green parliamentary group in a paper seen by the Süddeutsche Zeitung. In addition, more trains are needed in the morning and evening rush hours to make train travel more attractive to commuters as well.

Meanwhile, the party is also thinking about how to improve trains to make people think twice about taking longer or international flights.
