The keyword here is "reliable".

Last year my local train station was out of service for three months with a replacement bus starting too late in the day in the next village. And you know all too well about the strikes.

I cannot rely on public infrastructure to get me to work. Even though I avoid a car 90% of days I absolutely need access to a car for the remaining 10%.

I took a guy from my village along for free too when the train wasn't running. I met him on the train and he doesn't have a license. Without a car or a friend with a car you're screwed in small town Germany, and I think it's a damn shame.
