I imagine Germany to be the same (outside of the major cities that is).
It only seems that everyone walks to school because everyone seems to live close to one. But that’s not the case. Far from it.
- tsimionescu 4y agoEven in Eastern Europe, which is quite car centric by European standarda, kids typically live close enough to school to walk there, at least in cities. Also, public transport is very common, especially for older kids, whose don't want to be driven around by their parents but are neither old enough nor rich enough to drive a car.
- mathverse 4y agoThis is a remnant of the old era where the 90s kids lived in the commie blocks and had schools right in their neighborhood. This has changed tho as the families are moving out to suburbs which are heavily car centric.
- tsimionescu 4y agoWhile things are indeed moving in that direction, at least in the biggest city in Eastern Europe (Bucharest) its far from reaching the vast majority of the population.
