Orderly indeed.
I was impressed by the honor system for the public transportation.
I can't imagine implementing the same in Dc/VA or Atlanta!
Also amused by the politzei still carrying P7
Vienna was even better. I was hypervigilant at the hotel close last stop of tram. But after seeing couples, children, elderly strolling and on scooter late at 10 pm, perhaps these folks are just more peaceful,
Less rebellious, land law abiding than us?
For that kind of peace and order (and 100 euro per year for university and "free" healthcare), I actually don't mind the 40% income tax and 250 euro per month health insurance!
