I would like to give it a try if it was here in the states and a well put together infrastructure. But i conceal carry and that's not allowed on public transport.

As someone who likes driving and will probably always take the car when it's an option, I agree. Trains are just so much more efficient than cars, so they'll reduce congestion a lot.

And since the people who don't enjoy driving are usually not the best drivers, some proper public transport will also make the roads safer and less anger-inducing.

Do you like driving long stretches of road?

Germans are more well-behaved on the road than people from other countries from what I've heard, but I personally still complain all the time.

If you do get a stretch of unrestricted autobahn, it's nice, but be careful. Since braking distances scale exponentially with speed, you need to be able to spot idiots from very far away.

I found myself in a few dangerous situations already because people underestimated that aspect.

German government procurement is horrendously inefficient, but it's because of incredible levels of transparency to try to prevent corruption.

It means that even the most minute purchases come with lots of beurocracy attached.

You can look at it almost as its own kind of corruption, that syphons money into the beurocracy, but it does mean that things aren't happing without people knowing, and that, for an extreme example, when you decide to invade another country isn't the moment when you discover that you discover that most of your equipment had been sold for vodka money a decade ago!
