In Denmark’s Train Dream, the Next Big City Is Only an Hour Away
A newly revived rail plan could see Denmark’s trains catch up with its reputation for other types of green transit.
If Denmark’s transportation minister gets his way, future train rides between the country’s five major cities will take no longer than an hour.
Transportation minister Benny Engelbrecht announced plans earlier this month to revive a 2014 plan to slash travel times between the country’s major population centers. If it goes through, travel times across the country could be halved, making it easier for the modestly-sized country to function as if it were a single unified (if wide-ranging) metro area.
