it's like that in most western countries, worse in smaller
towns - even the public transport is minimal.
Oh yeah... I remember now... I stayed home cause the weather was
bloody hot and I've been out in the hot sun for a few days prior
and I was worn out plus the tram timetable had been modified and
usually, from past experience, on festive seasons, they don't stick
to the timetable and they are actually late most of the time.
Plus the trams were darn crowded cause it was free on that
day.
I was thankful I went for a drive and dinner with my friend
cause when we drove past a tram, it was jam-packed.
