Italy is a car infested country. I would love to know impressions of fellow users from other countries that visit Italy: do you see this?

We rank in the low part for public transport and rails (except high-speed trains). Which is not surprsing

Moreover, automotive industry is sinking in Italy, so there is not even the justification of helping “economy”, for pushing on cars so much.

Finally, there are many more cars than car licenses in Italy. Which, IMHO, is completely absurd

Interesting that the Netherlands (Paesi Bassi) is so high. Like a solid 10% higher than Sweden, and in Sweden we have shit bike lanes. We haven’t invested in our public transportation since the 80s, only having a few capacity expansion projects for our overloaded commuter rail.

It is also about how expensive cars are. If it is relatilvy cheap, you might well consider buying a second one, have a car basically not used and so forth.

My guess: cultural proximity to Germany, whose national identity is based on engineering and in particular the internal combustion engine.
