When it's hot in summer, the air conditioners WILL fail.
When it's cold in winter, the heaters WILL fail and the trains WILL wait for hours on the tracks because there's ice on them.
And above all, taking the train is expensive as fuck.
Busses are generally ok, but there are too few of them to be a reliable means of transportation in more rural areas.
And when you are in a big city, Berlin for example, the only public transport that's punctual is the subway. Tram and busses take forever in the chaos that is Berlin's traffic.
Public transport has been neglected for decades, the car lobby is extremely powerful here.
You know how americans got hardware upgrades for their VW Diesel cars?
Not here. A fucking software upgrade that changes nothing is all they get.
