@KimSJ But you can't just put down and rebuild the cities. The streets were already there before the train was invented in most big cities. It's grown organically.
As for the cars: there are areas in the country which are thin with public transport. Living there without a car is ridiculously cumbersome.
So i'm pro car and i'm pro public transport. Getting relaxed from Berlin to Hamburg in 90 minutes: unbeatable by car. Could be even faster if the ICE was going full speed.
