As an American in Europe who is a decent person, they’re just plain racist.

Meanwhile, I was seen as the school linguist by my peers in the US for speaking German _and_ French in addition to my native English.

(Mais si un français voit ce publication de CielBleu et veut donner leur avis sur les transports en commun en France, je serais tout content à l’entendre)

Saint Louis, right across the border from Basel, and looking at French public transport schedules on google maps outside of the major cities, so I could be completely wrong and using bad data (2/2)

Bitteschön, tbf, this was just a bit of my views, as I was planning on writing a bit more about certain nuances, like how I‘ve noticed that French cities do coverage and frequency quite well, but not span, but my experience with French Public Transport is limited to a couple of brief jaunts to (1/?)

similar despite the differences in German and Dutch urban planning, especially in terms of transport policy and land use, with Germany being slightly less pro bike and anti sprawl, but still quite urbanist by international standards (5/5)

could be better, I‘m satisfied with the (sub)urban services. That being said, I am from America and, despite living in a more periurban space of the city, my standards may be in the gutter, given that I am from the USA, and tbf, comparing to a nearby city across the Dutch Border, it’s roughly (4/?)

here, meaning only certain limited shops like Bäckereis and Kiosks can open, so I get being a little less frequent, but I‘d say that some of the routes could have higher frequency, like 15 Minutes on Saturdays instead of 20. However, overall, it is a good service which, even if I think it (3/?)
October 22, 2025 at 4:08 PM
late nights, most routes go down to 30 Minutes, on weekends to 20 or 30 Minutes, and hourly on Sunday mornings. Granted, I get why significantly fewer busses would run to say a Berufsbildende Schule (BBS, Technical School) or to the Uni on weekends, and Sunday is a legally required rest day (2/?)

As a transit enthusiast myself, I still chose to watch the video, and I found it intriguing as a way to condense what I already knew. FWIW, I live in a relatively large (West) German city, and it has great coverage and span, and most routes run every 15 Minutes on weekdays, however, on (1/?)

Honestly, I‘d love to watch a livestream of you and your brother discussing literally anything, whether in English or auf Deutsch or even in complete Mundart

Germany compared to France or Spain, and indeed, despite everything, Southern Europe is significantly more car centric than Northern Europe, as evidenced by the lack of cycling (3/3)

other countries, for cyclists, ok, I goofed slightly, that wasn’t Greenpeace but a Eurobarometer survey, which I have linked here: www.euronews.com/next/2023/09...
Anyway, whilst Density plays a role, it’s not everything, as can be evidenced by the greater mode share of public transport in (2/?)
Cycling in Europe: Where is bicycle use most and least common?
Cycling varies widely among European countries, with the Netherlands and the Nordics leading the way. The number of people who never cycle is surprisingly high.

I actually live in Germany, and actually no, a recent study by Greenpeace showed that most Germans have reasonably good access to public transport, more Germans use public transport or cycle than Brits, French, Spaniards, Italians, etc
October 12, 2025 at 10:26 AM
Interesting to see, also compared to Germany, which has a population weighted Density of 2,7k People/km^2, yet overall, Germany has overall cityscapes that are closer to Denmark or the Netherlands than anything in North America

Tbf, the US used to have the greatest passenger rail system in the world, but it was destroyed by a series of policies, most notably the government paying to build the competition while trains were still expected to turn a profit, which have destroyed it so utterly as if it was never there
