Google has integrated Amtrak fares and trip suggestions into its search results, promoting train travel as a greener alternative to flying, especially in regions with train service.
By providing users with the ability to see both airline and Amtrak fares, Google aims to encourage sustainable travel. This aligns with broader environmental goals to reduce carbon emissions.
When comparing travel options, Google highlighted that taking the train saves approximately 87 percent in carbon emissions per passenger versus driving, showcasing the environmental benefits.
Despite the promotion of train travel, the cost disparity remains significant as the cheapest available Amtrak ticket was higher than some flight options, which may hold back some travelers.
