Why should NSB rent cars in Oslo?

the Answer is pretty easy. Someone in management has to see that this train is difficult and risky.

Jernbanemonopolet stands for case. Soon will no longer NSB stand for the whole Norwegian togtrafikk and what should the company do then? Diversification must be the answer! Transport is the transport, with or without train. Rechargeable hire cars in the capital – it is the key!

So is the brand NSB a complete transportation company. Shit in that Oslo already has the country's best kollektivsystem in addition to bysykkel, nabobil, car pool, plenty of common rental cars and that the city tries to reduce car traffic. It is not important. Leiebilene is only the beginning! Soon can osloborgerne joy to NSBysykler, NSBpadlebrett and NSBståhjulinger.

Therefore, do not get Norway free public transportation

Ok. maybe not.

But dear NSB. If you really are afraid to be outdone on the togstrekninger, why don't you rather use your powers to be better to operate the train? If you don't quite know where to begin, I have a small list I have made through the 12 years and nearly 800 hours on the bergen Railway. So before you diversifiserer even more:

1. On sj's night trains on Saturdays . Why can I fly, so to speak, every half an hour between Bergen and Oslo, but for one reason or another never take on sj's night trains between a Saturday and a Sunday?

2. Drinking water on trains. 40 € for a pint of Imsdal is completely absurd. Even on bloddyre festivals in the no man's land is drinking water free of charge while on the train you have a literpris less than ten bucks.

3. Makes it possible to book train tickets earlier than 3 months prior to departure . Imagine being able to plan ahead and book your summer vacation by train in the winter just as easily as fly. Trains run the same time anyway, it's not as if you're continuously considering if you should suddenly impose lørdagsnattog or not, and therefore can not make the tickets available more than three months ahead in time.

4. Loyalty program . I take almost always the train. But it seems it not as if you care about. I had chosen flight rather than a train between Oslo and Bergen, the last twelve years, I had earned bucket loads of bonus points. But I have not. I have instead used between 60,000 and 80,000 € to take the train, without being left with someone other than a slightly greener conscience. Why awarding you no loyalty? What with a gratistur in ny and ne? Upgrade to a sleeping berth? A bottle of Imsdal?

5. Waste . You could have done something about the absurd level of wastage of engangspledd. To begin with, can you stop looking at them as engangspledd and also wash them. I have a pair at home that have held for years. It is perfectly fine. They can withstand a wash.

6. Discounted rabattbilletter. Why does not apply the discount for animals in the miniprisbilletter? Now, it is much cheaper to pretend that bikkjen my is a man to get miniprisbillett rather than having to pay the discounted ordinærbilletten. It gives somehow not quite meaning that bikkjas ticket for half the price is twice as expensive as my own.

7. Makes it easier to find cart . Mark on the platform where the train carriages come to a halt, so that hundreds of passengers can wait where it is sensible to stand, rather than having to look for the cart in the chaos that occurs when the train comes. Then it also becomes much easier ‒ not to mention safer ‒ to meet the children, the elderly and others who may need help and that comes with the train.

8. Makes it (very slightly) easier to fall asleep . Why is lysbryterne in sovekupeen right by the side of the hodeputa? It is difficult enough to fall asleep in a bed of 75 cm if one is not unwittingly to turn on flomlyset in the ceiling of each time the train sways.

9. Also must you, of course, give a reward to the employees on the trains then. For they are really fabulous! They always makes the trip better.

Therefore, konkurranseutsettingen a loss-loss situation for the Norwegian rail Debate

I take the train because it is environmentally friendly. But sometimes I wish that I could shit in the environment, for when I had taken the plane. Not only because it is faster and cheaper, but because it seems as though the airlines know how important it is to care about the loyal customers, and therefore, using their powers on them.
