The safety net also provides people with cheaper tickets. At least in my city, the ticket costs much less for people who depend on the social safety net.

You don't need to be lucky to live in places with good connections. There are many such places. That car traffic has generally less problems than the train system is a myth. Check the ADAC traffic event overview on a random workday.

I don't even need to swipe a ticket. All my local public transport has zero ticket checks, just random&rare controls. In a long distance train I check in on my booked seat via the app. That's it. No additional ticket check.

A German study from 2021 says road traffic created 70 billion euros costs per year. Of that 45 billion had to be paid from general taxes.

maybe 3 hours in the car and 1h with public transport. if you are in the rushhour and a traffic jam (not an unusual problem), then the train will be faster. Plus one can work in the train or relax. My regional train here 20km going into the

I haven't looked at Linux kernel sources, but I read about this "linked list" usage in the kernel. Embedded link pointers is also a good point. Do you happen to have a good example for it?
