Hoy en día los viajes son muy fáciles, solo hay que imprimir los billetes de tren en casa, y cuando llegues al estacíon del trenes hay que entrar el número del documento imprimado en casa, en una machina en el andén, con el número del tarjeta de compra y resulta que la machina imprinte unos otros documentos y despues de introducir estos en otra machina puedes entrar en el tren para viajar. Ojalá que pudieramos volver al método anticuado, lo de comprar los billetes en una ventanita, con efectivo...

These days travelling is very easy, you only have to print out the train tickets at home, and when you get to the railway station you have to enter the numbers from the documents you printed at home into as machine on the platform together with the number of the card with wich you made the purchase. The machine then prinsts out some more documents and once you have introduced these into another machine you may travel. If only we could return to the outdated methoid of buying the tickets from a window, with cash...

A passport is a type of document but did you know that France abolished passports and visas in 1861. Other European countries followed suit, and by 1914, passport requirements had been eliminated practically everywhere in Europe.

Later intrusive governments thought that they are a great way of raising money and controlling the free movement of people.
