> excellent public transit

Traveling by train ... is it some sarcasm or you've never been to Germany?

Local transit is usually decent. Regional trains are also much better than the long distance ones.

The long distance ones are a disaster in Germany, whereas in the US, they don't meaningfully exist.

Local transit?.. Sure the S and U bahns are (rather) fine, but the alternative are regular roads at regular speed - the highways in such areas are speed limited (e.g. Cologne / Dusseldorf etc.). The real Autobahn is only far outside the urban area where there is no local transit whatsoever

Ha, it's all relative I guess, because yes I have and that's why I said that
