The Dutch government will move ahead with plans to cap the number of flights at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport next year to reduce noise, it said on Friday, a decision that is fiercely opposed by flag carrier KLM and airline industry groups.
I’d like to see a direct connection Schiphol-Frankfurt. There is already a direct connection Schiphol-Paris, there should be air-rail tickets sold on this route just like there are Brussels-Schiphol
And by then everyone else probably uses a different type of train magnetic super speed something and the Germans will still not have entirely figured out how electric power and rail work together.
I spend a lot of time there and it’s amazing how bad people are at planning. There’s this fetish for rules and protocol, even when it’s entirely unpractical.
IMHO one way to reassure people is to improve train service in Schipol, offer direct train trips to/from more European cities.
Schipol act as a hub, a lot of people fly to Schipol just to take a connection and fly to another city.
Many connection could be train-flight, rather than flight-flight.

given Germanys ineptitude with the bureaucracy around building railroad infrastructure we might see this by 2070, if still alive then.
