Travel Info Why do I get travel sickness on a coach but not on a train? Travel Tips Probably because the ride is smoother on the train. Motion sickness is not caused by horizontal motion, but by the up and down motion due to bumps in the road or waves, if you are on a ship. This motion is detected by the inner ear and disturbs your sense of balance and orientation. Obviously, you get less of this motion on a train than in a car or bus or on a boat. Others It has to do with the difference between wheels and tracks. Since trains run on smooth tracks, they don't have suspension: they don't bounce up and down to compensate for the uneven road. But busses do, and that bouncy motion is what probably causes your travel sickness. on a train the ride is smoother and it's less open. |
