Back in May of this year, the gov’t admitted that from the 2020 period...the public transportation sector (buses and trains) were missing 7-billion Euro. Even with some return to normalcy in 2021, I’d go and suggest another 3-billion for this year being ‘short’ as well.

Having lived in Germany both before and after the muslim and african invasion, that is the unspoken reason people are going to private cars. They are violent smelly loud jerks that paw at white women and the Polizei don’t do a think about it.

All the money currently going to mass transit should be sent to advancing autonomous vehicles.

It will be safer, more convenient, and probably save energy if every family got to putter around in their own autonomous vehicle; vehicles that could link up to become trains when advantageous.

Considering how expensive the Germans make it to own and operate a car, their public transit must be a disaster.

Just wait until you are forced to drive an EV.

Who wants to sit in public transportation with the fragrant crowds. Except for long distance air travel (which sucks in its own way). It is for losers.

...... shows that people are continuing to choose car travel over trains and buses in spite of the easing of many COVID restrictions and a return to public life

Could it be that people just don't believe in what the government is telling them about this disease and its ability and/or desire to combat it.

The fact that car use has increased in spite of the easing of lockdown restrictions suggests that factors other than the pandemic are at play in the migration to private rather than public modes of transport.

I wonder if the MSM, screaming at people for the past 18 months, that Covid is going to kill everyone, might have influenced behavior.

I’ve been to Germany and except for the City Centers, they have really nice roads. And nice cars. They should be driving.
