Given how many locations depend on having car available and public transport offerings are a joke even in Europe, I am more going into the deadlines being pushed back scenario.

Not everyone is living in Amsterdam, Berlin, London,... city center.

Here in the Swiss countryside public transport is okay, at least to my tastes (I know I criticize sometimes but only first world problems). So if those other countries need a working model, here we are waving at them...

Sure, if they also manage to have Swiss income and life quality in first place.

I lived there for a couple of years during my CERN days.
