Germany has a pretty well-connected, efficient transportation foundation. You're more likely to see people riding in taxis, on bikes, or any of the other modes of transportation rather than driving cars. Working on creating many forms of public transport has helped with Germany's goal of reducing its carbon footprint and allowing it to be more connected in the long term. For example, when looking at the map of the S-Bahn, you can see that it connects to most of the outside city area with only a few outliers. Along with this, you can easily travel from West Germany to North Germany all by railway. The tram is another option within the city itself, taking people from block to block. It's very similar to city bus routes back home, only more connected.
With the arrival of winter, I noticed that there's a need to update certain aspects of the transportation system. When hopping on the tram, S-Bahn (fast urban railroad line) or U-Bahn (underground subway), you will typically need to switch to one of the other systems of transport at least once. Often, one of them will run late, with the time range I have had to wait for ranging from three to 30 minutes depending on the reason. Plus, these types of transportation become more crowded in the winters, as many people who use bikes switch to the warmer option.
