How are the German and Austrians around?
Many Germans and Austrians have cars, but cars are very expensive due to taxes, taxes, insurance and fuel. Public transport works quite well. The trains usually come on time, but the buses, trams or metros may be very crowded during the rush hour, but you can come almost everywhere. It is very important to not forget to buy a ticket, because if you ride without a ticket and you get caught, this can be very expensive for you.
As long as the roads are flat Austrians and Germans like to cycle a lot, even in larger cities. Bikes are considered a good and fast way to get around if you do not go too far.

When you talk about your transportation, you can also use the verb "nehmen". It demands accusative, which - as you already know - only changes the article of male nouns.
