I live in Germany currently and am from the US.

I love train travel. Even the delays people always rag on DB is really not that bad. It could be better yes, but not having to drive everywhere is so nice.

However I do often miss the small conviences of a car. Going to the store and traveling in bad weather were much easier, and yes I'm aware you can have a car here too I just won't be getting one.

Although I must admit I do miss a good road trip too. Where the journey is part of the trip. It's much easier to find something spontaneously while driving and stop to enjoy it.

Overall though not having to drive and being able to relax makes train travel the best

My commute: cycle down an old railway line, occasionally going through a tree tunnel.

Not sure how a car loan would give me any freedom I don't already have.

I, European, have temporarily moved further away from work and I'm close to a train station... I'd like to take the train, but it turns a 50 minute motorbike ride to a 1h40 train+bus one. I wouldn't be driving but that's almost 2 hours more of commute per day...

It depends on how comfortable the transit is. If you can use the time in transit to do organizational stuff or relax, it might still be worth the additional time investment in comparison to a nerve-wracking experience on the average road.

Some Americans' commutes, possibly. I have known people to inflict this sort of thing on themselves and I don't see the appeal.

I live in an area where the public transit is notoriously dysfunctional, but my commute is about five minutes by motorcycle. Maybe as much as seven on some days if the traffic lights aren't cooperating with me. On the weekends I ride up to the mountains and enjoy plenty of freedom.

Hell, if you nerds would buy more knives from me I could quit my day job and not have to go anywhere. Think of the carbon savings!

And those of us in Japan

/ Though the winds are so high that our line partially will shut down a few times a year. It was elevated after the tsunami which led to a new issue.

Me, as a European having to drive 55 minutes to work, with our fuel prices: 😭

Luckily my work isn't so far away now, it's only 10 minute drive. Could use public transit but it's not a very feasible option for me

If the Honda accord is good enough for Jesus it’s good enough for me
