it wasn't a discussion about price. It was about the service that is offered
Price attracts new customers, quality loyalises them
(Its a quote from a local rapper. Not train related, but it applies to any business)
Bus is dirt cheap and ok for some trips.
Plane is a bit more expensive.
but I'm still willing to take the train (first class) for the extra convenience, especialy when I cross the country several times over a weekend.
Also, plane is only kinda cheap when you book it a long time ago and for peculiar hours and dates.
It gets really expensive last minute or on days when demand increases, while train companies can just scale up the number of seats by using more carriages
