Summary
Much greater distances in Canada
This affects the culture of traveling Canadians rather use a car to overcome (generally)
greater distances In Germany, everything is closer – people walk and ride
their bikes more often
The climate has a big impact on transport behaviour since Canada generally has more extreme winters than Germany
Due to the smaller population density in Canada, it’s not as feasible to build the infrastructure (ie. trains, strassenbahn, etc.) In general, Europe has historically had a culture and
higher standard of public transport
