Question

Read the text and mark the following statements as
«True» or «False».
One of the widespread myths about travelling is that trains are the
cheapest way to take a trip across Europe — eventually this is not
true. To prove that we have conducted a short investigation. Train
tickets are becoming more and more expensive every year. A
standard ticket from Frankfurt to Rome costs a minimum of $350,
and the price depends on what time and day you are travelling.
The recent deregulation of air transport in Europe made it possible
for such ideas as low-cost airlines and increase in European
destinations to come true. Low-cost airlines appeared on the market
with a new business model different from the traditional ones. So
flights are so cheap now you can fly from Frankfurt to Rome for just
$90, and you don’t have to worry about food or drink as the trip just
takes a few hours. Travelling the same distance by train takes over
12 hours, and although it can be more relaxing you will need to
consider additional accommodation and dining cost if you are
travelling overnight.
