I live in Germany and while not perfect, I'm glad we have such a thing.

The problem is when a 10 minute car drive takes an hour with public transportation

Next problem is surge pricing and general ticket prices. I recall one city I was living in a few years back having advertisements for taking the train. And I was like “Yeah sure. It’s just double the price and triple the time”.

To me taking the train (at least for long distances) is a luxury thing.
