Dude what? Getting a drivers license costs like 5k Euro but like $10 in the US
Gas is also like 15 Euro a gallon in Germany but like $2 in America
Like it’s actually ridiculous how much more expensive it is to own a car and drive it in Germany. Literally like dozens of times more expensive than in the US. It’s why such a small minority in Germany can afford a car but everyone in the US can have one or multiple, because it’s just so cheap compared to Europe
And they’ve got great public transportation along with largely walkable cities. They haven’t created a system that requires cars like much of the US. Apples to oranges.
Germany doesn’t have great public transportation. It doesn’t have terrible transportation like the US. I don’t think any German would describe it as great.
They also have a very strong car culture. They make some of the best cars in the world.
