Italy is a car infested country. I would love to know impressions of fellow users from other countries that visit Italy: do you see this?

We rank in the low part for public transport and rails (except high-speed trains). Which is not surprsing

Moreover, automotive industry is sinking in Italy, so there is not even the justification of helping “economy”, for pushing on cars so much.

Finally, there are many more cars than car licenses in Italy. Which, IMHO, is completely absurd

    Referring mostly for commuters. Regional trains are very busy and generally not well maintained.

    Trenord the private operator doesn’t do a good job. Trains are frequently late, packed and dirty

    If you go outside the Rush hour it might be okay but at Rush hour it’s a different story.

    Of course if you compare to a City that has no or very limited transport options there’s no comparison.
