Winona, MN – Picture this: You’re planning a trip from Chicago to St. Louis. Instead of hopping on a plane, you decide to take the train. Not only is it better for the environment, but it’s also easier on your wallet. And now, thanks to Google, it’s a breeze for Midwesterners to find the perfect train for your journey.
Choo-Choo-Choose the Train, Midwest Style

No more clicking through countless websites trying to find the best deal. Just click the link and you’re on your way to booking your eco-friendly Midwest adventure.
The Heartland’s Green Travel Revolution
Taking the train instead of a domestic flight can reduce your personal carbon emissions by a whopping 86%. That’s a lot of cornfields saved and a lot less guilt for your wanderlust. And with Google’s new feature available in 38 countries, it’s never been easier for Midwesterners to make a positive impact on the planet while satisfying your travel bug.
Buses, Trains, and Pickup Trucks (Well, Maybe Not Pickup Trucks)
In 15 countries, Google will also suggest long-distance bus rides as an alternative to flying. So, if you’re looking for a scenic route through the Midwest and don’t mind a little extra travel time, a bus might be the way to go. And if you’re really feeling adventurous, you can even walk or take public transportation to your destination. Google Maps will soon offer these options if the travel times are comparable to driving.
The Midwest’s Sustainable Travel Future
In the coming months, Google Flights will take things a step further by showing train route suggestions alongside flight search results. Imagine being able to compare the cost and environmental impact of flying versus taking the train from Minneapolis to Kansas City, all in one place. It’s like having a tiny travel agent in your pocket, but without the added cost and with a green thumb.
So, the next time you’re planning a trip across the Midwest, consider hopping on a train instead of a plane. With Google’s new features, it’s easier than ever for Midwesterners to make sustainable travel choices. All aboard the Midwest’s green travel revolution! Happy travels.
