A is the correct answer .
When the cost is the same for both the train and flight journeys and time for the train journey is lesser ,then the train journey is more efficient regardless of all other factors .

I think the answer is B. Key words are to save "time and money". The return trip for vacationers will also save time, half an hour extra. So in total vacationers save an hour if they travel by train. Even if cost is constant, this will strengthen the superiority of the train. Hence Answer B.

Since the argument discusses vacationers, which must by definition return to D, the argument must ensure that even the return journey by train maintains the half hour advantage and not just forward journey. For example,
Forward journey by flight = 5 hrs, Return journey = 5 hrs.
Forward journey by train = 4.5 hrs, return journey = 6 hrs.
In this case, forward+return trip by train does not save time.

Hence, B.

Clearly OA is (A). It talks about the cost to be same for the Train to be more advantageous and a reason why the vacationers will not fly .

i choose E because question is talking about saving money and if people used to save some money earlier while traveling on airplane by reedeming bonus point for cash but they can not get bonus point now then it strenghten our argument. isn't it????

Can somebody please explain why A is wrong? As conclusion was about time and money both. we knew that there is a time saving of half an hour but we didn't know about the money so the first thing that comes to mind is that author has made assumptions about money. So choice A was matching. My question is that A and B both are close. we can think about the return journey time as well, but how to reject A?
