It has to be said that people from one place underestimate the other…
In Europe, 100 miles is a long distance.
In America, 100 years is a long time.

I do think it’s funny that America has the worst traffic in the western world, yet in Europe we can get by just fine with roads built by people that even the Romans considered to be ancient.

I mean there has been some work done to those roads in the meantime and it’s not remarkable you chose to build them on the quickest way to go from A to B while keeping construction cost in mind…

That’s because Europeans invest in all forms of transport, so you don’t get people who can’t fathom the concept of taking any trip from point A to B in anything other than a car

Would be great if Europe actually invested in all forms of transport. Where I live, the rail system is run into the ground instead of getting maintenance and expansion.

Yes, but you have a rail system.
