As I said, as an Austrian my experience with DB is limited. All I can say is that public transport here in Austria in my experience is more reliable than taking the car.
It feels like every direction I want to go with my car, there's always construction, with detours, closed exits, or just a section of highway with a 60km/h limit and traffic jams, because they are adding another lane, or building a new bridge, or resurfacing the road, or adding noise protection, or something.
- usr1106 4y agoMy only experience with ÖBB was a night train to Vienna. It arrived over 2 hours late. Because I continued to Czech I could not even use the refreshment voucher. To be fair the delay occured already in Germany, the train did not even leave the origin in Cologne in time. Afterwards I had to do the paper work work to get 50% or how much it was of my money back. Those who get stuck backed-up on the Autobahn don't get any money back. Lot of the problems have been created by decades of prioritization of roads over rail. No suprise not everthing goes smoothly if you try to increase capacity on a long neglected system afterwards. Some predict complete chaos caused by the 9 EUR ticket. Such a cheap price should result in dramatic of demand. But supply can't grow a whole lot on short notice. Well, I am not in Germany. I'll read it from the news.
