Dave, yes but only, if the public transportation systems is supplemented by private car traffic. In the former GDR every town, many villages and even factories had railroad connection. But efficient? To get to the next village in the proximity at 9 o'clock in the morning one had to take a train at 4:30 a.m. to the next town to take the bus, which arrived after 4 hours total time the destination 6 miles from home.
Below another veritable icon of the cold war, the TU-95 baer bear. "...First flown in 1952, the Tu-95 entered service with the Soviet Union in 1956 and is expected to serve the Russian Air Force until at least 2040..." [Wikipedia]

Hard to tell from that photo with Gerald Ford if Brezhnev received eyebrow implants from that fur coat or vice versa.

If you wanted to trim either the coat or eyebrows you would need to use the counter-rotating props from the Tu-95.

The Soviet nose hair trimmer, which is even 10 short tons heavier than a -> B-52 combines elemental power with a double-action blade, giving a wonderfully smooth result in seconds.
