Germany has a stellar transportation system which can take you pretty much anywhere imaginable. Each major city has subways, streetcars, buses, and a long distance rail terminal. The high speed trains are truly high speed, reaching speeds in excess of 200 KPH, and they are hardly ever late. The German transportation system could serve as an example to a variety of areas in the United States.

A big thank you goes to Ulrich Falkenberg for his assistance in identifying the vehicles in the photos.
