Danes leave their cars at home

A fall in automobile usage of 2.3% the first six months of the year is being credited to drivers switching to rail travel, according to DSB, which recorded an extra 2.4 million - 3% - journeys in the same period.

A combination of better marketing, improved train performance, greater awareness of rail's environmental credentials have all played their part in the growth, as has the recession, which has seen more people leave their cars at home when public transport is cheaper.
