most people travel in germany how?

Mostly by car, though the market share of rail is quite strong compared to many other countries. -- mawa 01:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I wouldnt say mostly by car. I think, Trains, U-Bahn, S-Bahn and, well, bikes have their fair share too (Me-pawel 16:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Data on non-DB trackage

Do those 3000-4000 km of non-DB-owned trackage include tram and metro (BOStrab) systems? -- mawa 01:54, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

A quick calculation of the major tram and metro operators' trackage results in somewhat more than 3500km (and I surely missed a few). Given that the Hamburger Hafenbahn (goods traffic only) owns almost 400km and the Bremer Hafeneisenbahn (again only goods traffic) owns even more trackage, added to hundreds if not thousands of kilometres of private industrial sidings (ThyssenKrupp has some 250km in their plant in Duisburg alone), I'd think that the number is only "proper" railway trackage. silly|thing ►Charge! 22:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Transport in Denmark mentions a strong bicycle presence in Germany, but bikes aren't mentioned here at all. -- Beland 04:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
