> but planes are usually a better solution than high-speed trains

I was traveling this week with both, an Airbus from Lufthansa and high-speed trains from Siemens.

And which one was taxed and which one was subsidized?

Both? Good and broad infrastructure is expensive. I was using a new plane with onboard Internet, two modern airports, three modern high-speed trains, three large train stations, driving through a clean and nice landscape. My local train line in my home town is fully digitalized and prepared for autonomous trains. Plus I made a stop in a town where Carl Friedrich Gauß was born in 1777, which was inspiring.
