In the country where I live, that is, Romania, the railway structure is very weak, we have very old trains and the train tracks as well.
Since I was born I don't know if I went by train 5 times because they seem very insecure and I go at a very low speed.
When I was 10 years old I had to travel 60km by train and while waiting at the train station I noticed that there were no screws on the train tracks and this scared me quite badly.
In other countries there are trains that run at speeds of over 300 km / h, but in Romania they barely catch 80 km / h maximum 90, but it is better so that there would be many accidents due to old rails.
Tickets in Romania are very cheap but many times when I stay at the barrier by car I see 5-10 passengers in trains more run empty unfortunately ..
We hope that our country will do something about this and one day we will have the train and ourselves.
