Planes ✈️ safest way to travel. 

Things to consider when travelling by plane

• It’s speedy
  Regardless of how much time you’ve set aside for vacation, jet-setting your way to a destination is the safest, and one of the fastest, ways for you to get there. So if you’re looking to optimize on a long weekend, getting there by plane is the way to go.
• It’s also exhausting
  Navigating airports, terminals, baggage claims, and countless other people is tiring and can be tough on everyone—not just kids or aging adults.

Trains 🚆 Things to consider when travelling by train

• It’s luxurious
  Plus, you get to skip traffic, long lines, and restrictive seat belts.
• It’s more affordable than flying
  Travel isn’t cheap—but embarking on a voyage via train is generally much cheaper than flying, especially if you’re trekking a short distance.
• It can take a while
  Trains aren’t the fastest way to get around. So if you’ve got a tight time frame, you’re probably better off flying.

Cars 🚗 The most dangerous way to travel

Things to consider when travelling by automobile

• It’s quick and affordable
  If you’re only going a few towns over, driving to your destination can get you there in a timely fashion—and it won’t cost nearly as much as a plane or train ticket.

• It’s more dangerous
  When driving, you have to take into account other people’s actions and operate on a defensive level. This can be especially taxing when you’re driving a car filled with luggage and family members.
