I love trams. So nice way of getting around!

TBH, when I visited Athens, it felt like the most car-centric capital I’ve ever visited in my life (haven’t been to US though). Fascinating comparison to be :)

I very much enjoy the idea of vignettes that is quite popular in EU: every driver driving highway is obliged to buy a pass to drive the high-speed road (which are usually higher polluters than slow-speed ones). IMO that is the best solution there, especially because I hate it so much as a driver.

The price is not as high, yet when you are going for a long car-trip, you have to plan it in advance. At the same time, driving through 3-4 countries can easily add 50-60€ to the trip price in vignettes only, which is quite discouraging (taking into account that is half of price for the petrol for that long travel).

Gosh, that’s like about 50 kmph, that is really too quick for people that usually lack any protection. Person riding a bike even with helmet can get quite an injury if gets into an accident…

I’d say they not just barely received a slap — they are continued to be praised for “contribution into country economy”.
