Why is it that the public avoid air travel like the plague, when the same threat of contagion exist on the local bus or train?
i just don’t get it.
Buses and trains are crowded in the rush hour when people are going to work. Most of the people on a crowded train or bus can't not travel without losing their jobs.
Lots of people on crowded flights are holidaymakers or visiting family, or maybe going to an unusual work event that is not core to their job.
If I decide not to make "discretionary" trips my use of the train will drop by a few percent and my use of air travel will be down by 50+ %
