> Apart from Berlin and maybe Hamburg people tend to live more in the outskirts.
That's why there are huge integrated public transport regions around the cities.
In Hamburg the public transport system reaches a metropolitan area of around 4 million people. Some 750 connections are being offered, which reach far into neighbour states.
I've been a long time user of the public transport system here and never has there been a more extensive service and a simpler handling of tickets than what we have now.
Any complaints are from a very very high level.
> We returned from (another) vacation by plane and took the train back home from the airport.
In Hamburg you drop off the plane, head to the public transport S-Bahn at the airport and in 20 minutes you are in the center of the city. The S-Bahn comes every ten minutes until 11pm and then the S-bahn is still providing public transport throughout the whole night.
