A great illustration of how China's high speed rail is making domestic flying obsolete (www.youtube.com)

Anecdotally people prefer riding trains over planes (I do too). I know a pilot who said that he doesn't recommend his son become a pilot like him because his earnings have actually fallen due to the increased preference for high speed rail. According to him the trend has already started before COVID but the effects became more apparent after.
