Moving around in Germany - transportation
![]()
Besides trains, you can travel inside cities and regions by bus. The transport runs on time. At the stops, there are special screens, which display the time before the arrival of a particular bus. You can buy a ticket for the trip in the vending machine at almost every stop. Tickets are disposable; you can buy one for a week and even for a month, which allows you to save considerably. The subway system of large cities is simple and straightforward. Everywhere there are schemes of intersection of subway lines, so it’s difficult to get confused here. You can also call for a taxi, but note that this is one of the most expensive means of transport. Taxi services are urban and intercity ones.

Economy roadmap of Germany
The land of Germany does not have a lot of valuable mineral resources. The entire mining industry is concentrated on the extraction of coal and potassium salt. On average, about 200 million tons of coal are mined in German basins per year. At the same time, mines are positioned as unprofitable and exist at the expense of state budget. The oil production in the country is extremely insignificant and does not significantly affect its economic state. The own gas production provides about 30% of the total consumption of raw materials. The largest potash mines are in Saxony and Hesse. Germany's manufacturing industry, to the date, is recognized as one of the leading in the world. A list of industries are considered to be competitive. These are automotive, electrical engineering, transport and general engineering, mechanics and precision optics, ferrous metallurgy, pharmaceutics, cosmetology, and perfumery.
