"A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation."

@straphanger Strictly speaking he is probably not the richest here, but a year ago or so I took a train home and when I got off, our finance minister got off as well to walk home. A common sight for those regularly traveling this stretch by train.

Having said that, he was traveling first class, but for me this is ok.

@rcr @straphanger Not sharing space with commoners really makes train travel much nicer.

Whereas 2nd class is a horrible affair with loud groups of people talking to each other, kids being kids, first class is just a quiet safe space to relax from the stress of life.
