@quixoticgeek Realistically passenger*km share of rail is 10% of ground transport in Europe (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/relative-share-of-passenger-kilometers-travelled-by-rail-and-road, see also https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-reported-passenger-kilometers?country=~NLD). So shifting the 90% done by car means both a massive capacity increase of all trains and a reduction of travel and a shift away from sprawling urbanism. I can't see the latter taking less than a generation.

Shifting to (e-)bicycles is of course also part of the solution - but I hear the Netherlands have already done a lot in that regard?

@bovine3dom @jon It wouldn't achieve much IMO:
- "sous réserve du respect des obligations de sécurité" so SNCF could just claim every standing passenger is a breach of safety.
- This would be French law, not for cross-border journeys, so Eurostar could just tell the passengers to f*** off.
