Moving around in Germany - transportation
The transport system in Germany is all about quality, reliability, punctuality and respectability. It is considered one of the best in Europe. The quality of the pavement is simply the top. Besides usual autobahns, cities and provinces are interconnected by railways and bus routes. Many travelers prefer to have transport by their side and rent a car. Driving the highway is free. In some major German cities, one-way car rent is allowed. It is worth considering that the price of gasoline in the country is quite high, so you should calculate the budget well. Before you go on a journey by car, you need to review the rules of the road, because German law has its own regulations.

Economy roadmap of Germany
One of the main economic problems of Germany is an insufficiently flexible labor market. Besides that, Germans do not work enough. On average, a citizen officially works out only 1 449 hours a year. This figure is significantly lower than in the entire EU area. Trade unions in the country are well-developed, which also shows a negative impact on the overall economy. Due to the excessive bureaucratic pressure, the country's economy loses not less than 52 billion euros a year. The eastern lands of Germany make a significant gap in the overall economy. Despite the impressive investment in the development of the territory, they remain unprofitable and depressive. On average, for 15 years the population of the Eastern Lands fell by 12%. An important problem for the country remains an increase in the average age of life and a decrease in the birth rate. … Open
