BCD Travel’s 2025 survey reveals rail as the preferred choice for business travel in Europe and Asia Pacific, with two-thirds of travelers opting for it over flying when time and cost are similar. Key factors include convenience, workability, and sustainability. However, challenges like delays, overcrowding, and policy clarity persist. Despite these issues, rail’s environmental benefits remain a strong motivator, and BCD aims to enhance rail travel through improved reliability and support.
