Verkehrsmittel

Normally, I use my car as transportation. I walk to and from classes, and when going on vacation, I will take either a plane or a car. It's an estimate 8 minutes to get to school from my dorm room by walking. Germans very rarely use cars, or for that matter, have cars. They take daily trips to the store or market to pick up fresh foods such as bread. Other forms of transportation that are popular are subway, bus, bike, and train. In Germany, because cities are closer, this allows for public transportation to work more smoothly than it would in America. German cities also have smaller roads where cars would have a hard time driving through, and the price of gas in Europe is about twice as much in the US, leaving driving to no be cost efficient.
