To travel by train is 6, because passengers can walk and buy food and drinks on a train. They can also see cities and the country through the windows. But trains don't leave or 7 in a place every day. They don't go to many cities.
To travel by bus is easy, cheap and convenient, though not so fast as travelling by plane or so relaxing as by train. You can find buses almost in every city. That makes travel arrangements 8.
