I'm a simple emigrant, and I don't have a personal car

In Tyumen the need for it was keenly felt, but friends could always help—most of them had a car, though taxis were more common, since they are inexpensive here. In Germany, on the contrary, it's the other way around: the city is designed so that it's not worth driving a car; it's much more practical and faster to walk, ride a bicycle, or use public transport. The latter, by the way, runs around the clock; of course, in the evening the gaps between runs become about 15 minutes, and at night about 40, but, let's face it, in cold Siberia you sometimes stand at a stop until you're blue in the face even in normal times. Here, at least, waiting is comfortable. Of course, the financial aspect also affects the choice of transport. However, with excellent roads, traffic (for example, the presence of one-way streets) is designed in such a way that I, for instance, would spend exactly the same amount of time getting to work on foot or by car — and by tram it would take half as long. So it turns out that people, even having a car here, still prefer to use it only when they need to drive to several places before or after work or for long trips.
