    Transport in Germany

    As a densely populated country in a central location in Europe and with a developed economy, Germany has a dense transport infrastructure. One of the first limited-access highway systems in the world to have been built, the extensive German Autobahn network has no general speed limit for light vehicles. The country's most important waterway is the river Rhine, and largest port is that of Hamburg. Frankfurt Airport is a major international airport and European transport hub. Air travel is used for greater distances within Germany but faces competition from the state-owned Deutsche Bahn's rail network. High-speed trains called ICE connect cities for passenger travel with speeds up to 300 km/h. Many German cities have rapid transit systems and public transport is available in most areas. Buses have historically only played a marginal role in long-distance passenger service, as all routes directly competing with rail services were technically outlawed by a law dating to 1935.
