Verkehrsmittel

In my daily life we almost always travel by car and if the place is close we walk. Things like going to the store I will drive but when I go to school it is close enough to walk. For vacations my family and I usually drive and I have never been on an airplane. The area that my family usually commutes from is a twenty mile radius from our house. Germany has one of the best public transportation systems in Europe. To get around the country they will either travel by train or car. In the US most people hardly ever travel by train anymore, instead they will opt to take a plane. To get around there town they will either walk, drive, or ride a bus. This is kind of like the US in our bigger cities. In the smaller cities we usually will walk or drive.
Germany isn't as big as the US so it is easier for them to take something like a train, bus, or drive to get across the country. Were we either fly or drive. Germany is also older then the US and the city streets weren't built for cars, so either people don't have one or walk. Also, because the streets are smaller the cars they do have in Germany are smaller then the ones here.
