As it turns out it doesn’t actually cost that much on regular transit, there’s an AIRPORT SURCHARGE because it’s an “airport train”.

No wonder Americans don’t use public transit, even when the system exists it’s ridiculously difficult and expensive to use.

    (another user) I live in Spain, in a city where most of the region come to work. We have the vet in a nearby town, so we usually go there by car. Getting out of the city into the town takes around 15 minutes, of which around 10 are spent on a 120KMH highway. Bikes can’t go on that road, completely banned, so they would need to go through another, way longer route. Yeah, it would take over an hour to go on a bike.

    The people that live in that town that come to my city to work basically need a car, and it’s not like they can’t do their living in walking distance for every necessity but work. It is what it is.

    also what the fuck 112 km/h is extremely fast

    120KMH is the max here, but it’s pretty common for highways to have that cap. Same for france iirc (130?) and germany, besides their funny uncapped road. In fact, sweden has very similar limits, where “motorways” go around 110 to 120. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_Sweden

    I’m surprised you don’t know this, do you have a license?
