Road Transport

Standing on the wrong side of the street to catch a bus, is a mistake I have done many times already. But this is not as dangerous as the near-reflex action of looking right before crossing a street. I am all confused, and I generally end up checking both directions, before crossing. When I am travelling and a vehicle speeds past in the opposite direction, from the left, I have this automatic initial sensation of uneasiness. It registers itself like a syntax error in the brain, till it remembers that it is not in one of the commonwealth nations.

The public transport buses and cabs are all Mercedes Benz. And some features they have. The buses tilt to the side to allow easy boarding and deboarding. For the disabled, there are even more facilities. Also the buses have almost zero radius turning, i.e, they can turn in a circle with the hind wheels moving infinitesimally. They run by the clock. Exact timings.

There are many famous brands coming from here, - the BMW, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, Opel, Volkswagen. There are cars which can do as good as the ICE trains, and roads that allow them to do so.
