Deutsch Bahn would like a word.

I often take my car because it's so damn unreliable.

Not once, not twice, but three times I've sat on a train for 2+ hours without moving within the past 2 years.

Me When My metro train (Santiago) doesn't immediately arrive as soon as i touch the platform.

...that's the shanghai maglev

edit: it was built by siemens though, so get a few euro wank points.

I think you may have Europe confused with Japan.

As an American, I don't have access to trains, buses, bike lanes, sidewalks or even a shoulder on the road. The last time I tried to walk home from the tire shop two miles away, three people stopped to offer me a ride because it is that dangerous. I live inside the 275 loop that runs around Cincinnati.

So that's what a train looks like

Wait, you guys have trains?

no fast railways in the US at all, hyperloop delayed cali long enough til trump was able to stop it in his first term. it would solve alot of employment locaitons issues like biotech, and tech hubs. which are situated outside of major freeways and highways and major metro areas, even cars have a trouble navigating to.

The problem with trains is they are public (under)founded. The rich and powerfull with political influence don't want working public transportation because less carsales, oil, gasoline etc.

Which explains why Musk prevented a high speed train in the US with his hyperloop. We all need to buy EV"s which have most of the downsides of traditional cars.

When we could have clean, fast and comfortable public transportation.

EDIT: Spelling.

It's funny, but after traveling around Europe, I've learned one important lesson: avoid booking flights with short layovers! If the transfer time is less than 3-4 hours, you’re playing a risky game. Delays happen more often than you'd think, and in some cases, flights get pushed to the next day due to 'bad weather' (or other mysterious reasons). Better to have a buffer than to get stuck at the airport overnight!

I'm literally riding the Shinkansen in Japan right now as I come across this meme.

You haven't seen Croatian rail then ;)

As an American living in a region with halfway decent (by American standards) public transit, I feel like I hear more comments aligned with the European side than the American side. If public transit has literally any downsides, that's justification enough to drive for so many people.

I am here to represent the germans. The country where the only thing we agree about is, how fucking shit our trains are

Portugal is in America 😂😂😂😂😂 and it’s gotten way worse since the pandemic

Where is this magical European place with trains that are only .5sec delayed? Our public transit authority considers train "on time" if they're no more than 20min late...and still, less than 80% of trains are "on time"...
