UK and Germany don’t have good public transport, maybe except for individual cities. Switzerland on the other hand has good and frequent public transport nationwide.

As an American who has experienced Deutsche Bahn, National Rail, and Amtrak, I’ll stand by Germany and the UK having pretty good inter-city rail compared to us. Lübeck and Bath are the cities there I’ve been with the worst public transit, and they would be well above average in the US.

I haven’t been to Switzerland yet, but it’s not shocking to hear the public transit there is all-around better.
