- refurb 3y agoThere are 49M personal vehicles in Germany out of 83M people. You really think it’s that rare for a German to drive?
- distances 3y agoDidn't assume it's rare, just if it's the majority. But yeah your numbers clearly point to a majority being drivers. I guess even most public transport users do have a car then for occasional use.
- lasagna_coder 3y agoThere are many cars and many car owners and many car drivers in Germany, I think the stat is something like >3/4s Germans own cars. There happens to be public transport and bicycle infrastructure proportionate to the density of a region (ie more in cities), but lots of Germany is still rural, sparsely populated, and dominated by cars for getting around. If you aren't from/in Germany and visit it, you'll see how popular cars are here and that is unlikely to change soon.
