    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 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

        “great infrastructure, just not for public transportation” sounds to me like another way to say “shit infrastructure”
