Train

This is the hallway.

These are the beds. There are three tiers of beds in each room.

This is the outside of a moving train.

While the train is never used in modern-day America, it is probably the most common way to travel long distance in China. Because planes are too expensive, and buses take too much time, people use trains to get to their destination. Trains are effective in China because they don’t use as much fuel compared to planes and can hold hundreds of more people. Also they are much faster than buses. Finally, trains are more comfortable than a plane or bus. They have larger chairs or even beds you can sleep on. Trains are a mix of speed and comfort and are usually the first choice of transportation in China.
