After all, some attractive destinations are much closer in the neighboring Dutch country than in their own country. So why do many people torment themselves every day through traffic jams, squeeze into full lanes and invest a (large) part of their free time to commute to their workplace in German metropolitan regions, when cities like Nijmegen, Venlo and Roermond or Maastricht - depending on the starting point - are so much closer?
