Travelling by train is the most common form of travelling. Trains are cheap, less polluting, safe but not very clean and comfortable. Fast trains and through trains are more comfortable for longer distances. They do not stop at every station. There are also a sleeping car and the dining car in fast trains which make the travelling by train more pleasant. Coaches are buses for long distance travelling. They are fast, comfortable and the prices of tickets are quite reasonable. During holidays the travel agencies offer many coach trips to the mountains or seaside resorts.
