    For that money you could travel DB highspeed trains for twenty years, or ten years first class

    (~4k or 8k for a year flat rate)

      Sure could. Unfortunately, those trains don’t run between my home and work, or grocery store, or doctor and hospital, or movie, or the mountains for skiing/camping, or any other amenities where I live. I wish I had great public transit options like in Europe, but I don’t.

        You can’t even get 5 miles to the south, West, or Northwest without a car where I live. Blocked off highways and no sidewalks everywhere!

        Oh the prices I talked about are long distance travel, public transit is 600€ per year
