| May 5, 2023 at 6:19 | comment | added | Krišjānis Liepiņš | @sphennings Passenger kilometre figure depends on the comfort level particular operator requires. Thus with the same type of train, the operator requiring a higher comfort level would spend more energy per passenger than an operator requiring a lower comfort level. Comparison on effective area avoids this bias. | |

Using the passenger kilometer figure gives us a better unit of comparison to other passenger rail efficiency numbers, and allows for an approximate comparison with freight rail efficiencies. | |
