    Over here in germany, the government almost always picks the contractor who makes the cheapest offer for any given job. That almost always leads to them not finishing the job, so roads stay closed until the government picks a new contractor. And if they don’t pick a new contractor for 6 months, there are no consequences whatsoever.

      Yeah and it’s incredibly frustrating that taking the car is still more attractive over here then taking the train. I wish we were as smart as the Netherlands or Switzerland when it comes to infrastructure and city planning.
