Wait, what? I am really surprised to read this.
- znowflakez 4y agoYeah, small delays are happening constantly, bigger delays very often, you will always see a few ICEs running 120+ min late. Many malfunctions and building sites. Some tickets are horribly expensive or straight up overpriced and then knowing the arcane system behind pricing is required to pick the right ticket for the right price. It's also a dense network with lots of passengers and I do manage to get around so there's that? But you were probably thinking of Switzerland, not Germany :o)
- Tainnor 4y agoGermany tried to privatise rail transport but kind-of half-assed it, so now you have a system which is basically the worst of both worlds: Not customer-centric at all, but at the same time investing more money in high-prestige projects (sometimes at the other end of the world) than in fixing the problems with badly maintained infrastructure at home.
