Cars are kind of a relict of the past. Even families have a tendency to own only one car (for long travel, transporting stuff, holidays) and are replacing a secondary car with ebikes or by just using public transport. The thing about cars is that people realize that the cost is not just what you pay for a car, but also everything around the car, the infrastructure (just think of all the space car and car infrastructure like roads and highways take away from people, even parked), the emissions (giving children health problem down the line isn't great), the cost for fuel and insurance or even getting a license (which can cost thousands of €). The Swiss have a great motto when it comes to public transport, which goes something like this, "great public transport is when the rich prefer to take it over the car".
Not everyone has a car. It has several reasons. Either they can't afford it, or they don't want a car because they don't have the space. Finding a parking space in the city centre is not always easy for residents. But you can still buy a car. But you also have to know that the cost of living in Germany has risen enormously in the last two years, but wages have not risen as much. Greetings from northern Germany.
As a Dutch person, I can add that old cities were not built to accommodate so many cars in daily traffic. In the 80's I thought the government was bullying cars. But if you're sitting on a terrace in an old city center and you keep seeing the same cars driving by, looking for a place to park, they simply aren't there. Then you automatically realize that if you want to preserve the charm of your city, you will have to slow down car traffic. This also means public transport here, and lots of bicycles. But secretly I love my BMW, outside the city.
Great video and reaction! Thanks for sharing! If you missed this little detail in the video ... the underground drives every 4 minutes frequently! So you actually don't need to worry to miss your ride, as the next one is arriving only a few minutes later. Another and insane public ride, but only avaible in the city of Wuppertal, is the "Schwebebahn" (= suspension railway). Have you heard of it? It's like a train, but around 15m above the ground, hanging (!) on the track! Very unique, but around since the year 1901.
In the countryside and small towns you need a car. I have been living in Frankfurt for 6 years and don’t have a car. I don’t need it. I can cycle or drive everywhere with public transit. When I go to my parents I take the high speed train. For the 2-3 hours drive it’s 20-50€
Yeah, an entire day driving everywhere in the city around is like 6 bucks. Why risking getting caught having no ticket and then paying 60 bucks? Also, buses might only warrant entry after showing the bus driver your ticket. You never know. Most cities have apps for their PT system. It is cheaper to buy in app usually. Also, you need no change and you can get your ticket without any machine. No ticket in paper also means you cannot lose your ticket. You have it always there in your phone.
Me personally, I was the most impressed with Singapore's MRT. Watch a video about Singapore Public Transport. You will be amazed! Small spoiler: There are no drivers on their MRT. It is fully automatic. ...and the stations and trains are as clean as an operation room in a hospital. Absolutely spotless clean anywhere you look. This is no exaggeration! No food&drink allowed on the train and stations. Smoking next to nowhere in town, let alone any station. Fine 5000 SG$. Fine is like 2000 Singapore Dollars for eating/drinking. 1 SG$ = 0,7 € for reference.
If you ever visit Germany. Search for Tourist ticket or something like that and the name of the place you are at. You'll find it quickly. Usually the cities are divided into zones. Look up the zone map of the public transport network. Either at any station or online. Make sure to buy the ticket you need, because having the wrong ticket in the wrong zone=no ticket=60 bucks fine. ;-) Sounds stupid? No, that's like getting caught sleeping in a hotel room you haven't paid for and then arguing you paid for another room...well, you still used the room, didn't you?

Yes we are from Brasil. Unfortunately, Brasil is considered 3rd world for several reasons like: the eighth most violent country in the world, amost half of Brazilians do not have access to basic sanitation, low human development index, social and wealth inequality is very high. Anyway, these are just a few things that make Brasil 3rd world.
Of course, all countries have problems but, the concept of problems and difficulties in rich and poor countries are different. Have you ever eaten garbage? Did you have to choose between paying debts or eating? Have you ever seen a war tank? Have you ever been robbed at your door home? Just think about it. In third world countries the problems are in big or small cities.
@@3rdworldpeoplereact Only when you count McDonald's as garbage, then yes. Seen tanks, yes. Never been robbed successfully and the one who once tried got a broken arm for the attempt.
@@3rdworldpeoplereact now you got me curious... how many war tanks are running around in Brazil on a daily basis? ...and if so: WHY? They literally serve no purpose as there isn't any much way for another countries tank to approach... maybe right at the borders; but else I think of Brazil as either coastline, jungle or mountain range
German public transport is shit compared to their western neighbour The Netherlands. When travelling by train with Deutsche Bahn, you can count on many delays and even the possibility that you don't end up at your destination before the trains stop running in the night and you have to find a hotel.
Haha my bad, but still... Dutch public transport is better and I prefer travelling by car when in Germany, even though I love the scenic views from the train, it doesn't weigh out the stress.
@@Skyl3t0n yeah I believe you that those are better than the train, especially because I never used those there, apart for some busses in the countryside.

Oh, I think you should do "This is Germany" video - its amazing scenic video :)
Guys, you’re hilarious😂your reactions are priceless. But what makes it more fun that you consider yourself as 3rd world country. Comon😂😂😂😂
Great reaction 👍🏻🤘 greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

Thank you very much for the suggestion. This sounds crazy and cool at the same time!!!
Sounds soulless to me
Berlin alone is bigger as Singapore, and its just one city in a country with many more cities!
@@Arltratlo So?
Car is allways faster 😂
Not if you need to fight through inner-city traffic. But for medium distances definitely yes.

How are either one of them a third World?

Given the current government Germany will be a 3rd world country within the next couple of decades.
