Germany has both the Autobahn and rail.

  The German rail network is chronically underfunded and Germany is completely incapable of building new lines. Per capita spending on rail pales in comparison to e.g. Switzerland and Austria.

    Germany is roughly the size of Montana, with the population of almost CA and TX combined.

      Shouldn’t that extra population in a limited amount of land lead to more demand and better outcomes for rail and roads?

        The locals value silence. It is not easy to put rails or roads. until recently people used to protest the noise of windmills (thats changing now).

  Given the reputation of the phrase "getting deutsche bahn'ed", I think they chose the Autobahn.
