Why train tickets are so expensive

     Whenever you go on a cross-country train, it's usually expensive especially if it's luxurious. Well, if you want to know why they are so expensive I will tell you.

  First, they need to pay their hundreds of thousands of players so that's a big chunk of the money for workers.

  Second, they need to maintain the trains and the tracks. Take Amtrak as an example, they have millions of miles of track. And that's a lot of money for maintaining 300 million miles of track. Also, you have to think of the hundreds of trains they have.
 


  Also, the company needs some money for themselves or else they won't earn money. There are more factors but I will leave them for another post.

  So those are some of the factors. I hope you enjoyed the article and remember to check out some of our other posts.

    I sure do feel like traveling by train after reading your post.
    I believe that I have only experienced travel between states on the west coast, but I would love to travel across the whole country by train one day.
    Thank you!

A tour of the Boieng 777

A tour of the Emirates Boieng 777     Today, we will take a tour of the Emirates  Boieng 777. This is one of the biggest Boieng models with a passenger capacity of around 315. So let's dive right into the tour.      This giant has a wingspan of 200 feet, more than half of a Airbus A380's wingspan. First, we will board the plane at the right side of the plane to come to First Class. A typical Boieng 777 has about 12 First Class seats and about 35 Buisness Class seats. You will get plenty of room if you fly by First Class.     Like I mentioned in the A380 tour, there is a foldable bed under the seat. You will get 3 full windows which is ideal if you want to look at something. There are countless small storage spaces like under your armrest and in front of that marble table-top. It's well designed in terms of space. There is a button pad on one of the armrests. The screen for First class is exceptionally big, especially when you compare it to Economy...
