In Europe they have this invention called efficient systems of mass transportation. A lot of 'em use this object of transportation called the "train." Amazing invention that. When I visit my family in Switzerland, the ones who live in the city have electric street cars that stop practically at their doorsteps and run 24/7. The street cars have nice direct routes to the train station. The trains take off ever 10 minutes for everywhere in Switzerland and the rest of Europe that you can imagine, and places that you can't imagine either.

Stuff like that in the US? That will be the day!
