It's rather the exact number of four fitting every car. Even those from East Asian countries, although four is an unlucky number over there. Seems suspicious to me.

The best part of visiting relatives is being able to revel in Spain’s fucking AMAZING public transportation, compared to the US.

It makes me upset that a country as perfectly suited for high speed rail, subways, trams, and busses has barely any of that save for a handful of cities.

The switch really is jarring. I don’t need a car to have basic mobility? It’s quite enjoyable. (Although sitting on an ALSA for hours is no fun either.)

Germany gang here. ^^ And yeah, considering what public transport, for a given definition of the term, in the U.S. looks like, we Europeans are probably complaining on an extremely high level ...

Most of those “paved” roads aren’t much better then the dirt ones.
