France bans short-haul domestic flights in favour of train travel

France bans short-haul domestic flights in favor of train travel. The idea for the ban originally came from a Citizens' Assembly. Under a government decree, any journeys that are possible in less than two-and-a-half hours by train cannot be taken as a flight. France is also cracking down on the use of private jets for short journeys in a bid to make transport greener and fairer for the population.
