I moved to Denmark in 2017.l from south east USA. Writing this message from my hour and half long train+bus commute to work(72 km away from the city of Aarhus,DK). To me. It sucks big time! I can't afford a decent car here. True, I can get a shitty old used car that can breakdown wherever for the cost of a decent car elsewhere in the world. I'd rather save my money and take this long commute. This is one thing I absolutely hate about Denmark from the bottom of my heart. I might consider moving out of Denmark just because of this as soon as my girlfriend finds a good job opportunity elsewhere.

There are so many good things I see about Denmark. But this one shitty thing trumps all the good for me!

Edit: NO. Used cars are not that much cheap unless you get to the shitty category with a ton of mileage in them.

As someone from a neighboring country to Denmark, this to me is a sign that their system is working.

Eager to hear why you think so?

I'm a young person taking a 1.5 hour train+bus commute because I cannot afford a 45 minute car ride. Why do you think the system is working right?

Or, in your view, what am I doing wrong?
