Since I was a kid, I've had an interest in all forms of transportation. I lived in Germany during my middle school years and immediately became fascinated with Germany's extensive transportation system. Back in 1998, I was a regular contributor to a newsgroup about European travel and found that I was answering many of the same questions about transportation options in Germany. A search of the Internet showed that there really weren't any websites at that time that discussed this utterly practical matter, so I developed this website to fill that niche and also to provide information to people who are otherwise interested in transportation in general. Since then, many other sites on the topic have sprung-up, many of which reference or link back to this site. In addition, I've also consulted on, contributed content to, or been cited by a few travel guides and even a History Channel show about the Autobahn.

In addition to this site, I also have an extensive site discussing the roads and highways of my current home of San Antonio. You'll find that site at http://www.texashighwayman.com.

Gute Reise!
