    Yeah and it’s incredibly frustrating that taking the car is still more attractive over here then taking the train. I wish we were as smart as the Netherlands or Switzerland when it comes to infrastructure and city planning.

      I would like to give it a try if it was here in the states and a well put together infrastructure. But i conceal carry and that’s not allowed on public transport.

      As someone who likes driving and will probably always take the car when it’s an option, I agree. Trains are just so much more efficient than cars, so they’ll reduce congestion a lot.

      And since the people who don’t enjoy driving are usually not the best drivers, some proper public transport will also make the roads safer and less anger-inducing.
