The point of a vehicle was always to take you from point a to point b.

Perhaps a certain minority enjoys pushing buttons, pulling levers and pressing pedals to move your butt around, heck I enjoy it too.

But when I am leaving for work at 5:30AM I am much happier to be seated comfortably in a train and letting someone else move me around while I take a nap

Since I can’t respond to the dead comment that replied to me, I’ll respond to my own comment.

On the 5:59 train from Zürich to Basel, there is no chance of this happening. It’s an extremely pleasant ride on the DB ICE, up until Basel.

On the afternoon or evening trains(there’s one every 30 minutes) I have also never felt threatened. Although I typically get a 1st class ticket on my way back home because it gets kind of crowded with all the families and retired folks in 2nd. class, and I prefer to nap in peace.

If my company weren’t paying for my tickets, I’d probably go in the 2nd class as well.

Perhaps your society has some issues if you feel threatened in public spaces.

Yeah same here, public transport in Spain is clean and nice :3

I'm so happy not having to own a car anymore and I hope I never have to drive again. Also, €22 for all my travel needs for a month is amazing

Yeah, and once society progressed beyond the bare minimum to accomplish that goal a whole host of ancillary nice to have bonus goals (style, comfort, etc) opened up.
