First World:
Screenshot of google maps trip times. Car, public transit and bicycle are very similar

Not quite comparable, because long distance, but for someone usually bouncing around Germany, the TGV network is kinda crazy. A bit envious after returning.

Like, the ICE is usually faster than driving, and I don't have a car anyways, since I don't really need one, but having a separate network for high speed rail means the French are just on another level.

That would be really fucking nice. I'm not joking. It takes me less than 15 minutes to drive to work, public transport doesn't exist for me, and biking is terrifying because a long part of it is on a 55MPH rural highway with no shoulders or bike lanes.

I've taken to riding a motorcycle during the warm season instead. Far more enjoyable and nicer, even on a 49cc scooter (modded to reach 50+) or a 46 year-old Enduro bike.
