This would also be great in Germany, but it's impossible to establish, because people want a seat. In contrast to TGV, tickets for the ICE do not include a seat

In contrast to TGV, tickets for the ICE do not include a seat reservation. And if you pay extra for it, there is this the possibility of unplanned shorter trains, substitute trains without carried-over reservation numbers or any other failure.
- nicbou 4y agoThis is a fairly big issue. Trains just feel like a worse deal in Germany. I want to choose the train more often, but I don't want to stand up for a whole leg of the journey. I also struggle to justify paying the same price as if I drove there myself, and significantly more than if I flew, yet lose either the flexibility or the time savings.
