    I’m in Germany. That’s how long it takes with the trains to get to my Workplace. And I still rather work from Home because I don’t have to travel 3 to 4 hours a day.

    Holy shit you guys have bad infrastructure. Even worse than ours.

    I also generally rather use the train despite its problems. Especially when I’m not sure if I will be drinking or taking other drugs.

      Not really, the images and travel descriptions you’re reading here are the exception, not the rule. The US has great infrastructure, just not for public transportation as there isn’t enough centralized usage and the locations are far apart. It would take me 4 hours to go to work by bus, but it takes me 25 min by car.

        That’s simply poor route planning, which could be solved by better bus funding, leading to more buses with more stops and more frequent trips.

        That sounds like it’s a vicious cycle. There isn’t any public transport so there are no people using the public transport which causes public transports to be bad, so there isn’t anybody using it

        Because you behave like a brainless, witless worm, which is much rarer in Europe
