Not only do I get to see new things out the window on every drive, I also feel a sense of relief knowing that my travel has a smaller negative impact on the environment than driving a car does. Plus, trains can be quite comfortable as long as they aren't too crowded.
Absolutely! Germany is full of compact cities and tiny villages, and they need some way for people to travel between them. If everyone had a car, there wouldn't be enough space to park them all. Additionally, Germany cares a lot about the environment (which is why I need a color-coded chart to sort the recycling), so they try to incentivize public transport while deincentivizing cars. Many aspects of owning a car a quite expensive. They need regular emissions tests, getting a license often costs over €2000 and gas is quite pricey as well. All in all, public transportation is a much better option for someone like me.
