Ich auch, danke

The town I grew up in has approx. 4000 inhabitants. It is served by a railway station with 4 trains per hour (one per direction every 30min), all day, from 05:00 to 24:00. On top of that it has four bus lines with frequencies between 30 and 10 minutes. It lies next to a medium sized (for Switzerland) city of 55k inhabitants, which has much much more public transport, like 20+ trains an hour in 6 directions and dozens of bus lines.

Just for comparison.

A 55k community in the USA would probably be considered a very small town, I guess. Not worthy of even a single railway line.

Until Google kills it

The cycling infrastructure in Switzerland is good, but the Netherlands are on a whole different level.

The video is ok, but contains incorrect information. Fines aren't scaled by income, they're fixed. Only for major infractions that go before a court of law is the penalty scaled.

Also, there is a shot from Bern saying "look people don't cycle when it's unsafe" but what is being shown is the roundabout of the motorway exit Ostring. No one cycles around that as there is no point. Cyclists would bypass that ugly sin from the 1970s.

It's also funny to hear Basel being called a small city, in Switzerland it's considered one of the biggest, like Genève, Zürich, Bern, Lausanne.

Yes

This kind of "societal pressure" for lack of a better term is probably discouraging people. At least for me it would be.

Interesting fact, this is one area where the USA and Europe have a very large cultural difference. In Europe, people are themselves at work, they don't have a work persona like in the USA.

We can see what you all are doing.

No, you are seeing what the people too clueless to install tracking protection are doing.

You all need to visit the Netherlands.

Makes sense, since anything else would be communism

Don't police stop people that are walking? I heard this from multiple people. It's so unusual to not be in a car they investigate.
