Yesterday I went to IKEA (i.e. suburb-to-suburb). Google Maps said:
Car: 20 min
Public Transit: 1h20min
Bicycle: 1h

We’ve begun building one tram line and the construction process has gone so catastrophically the entire country knows about it. At this rate the urban transition away from the car will be done by 2250.
