- est31 3y agoThere is also cold hard statistics that prove your point: https://www.deutschebahn.com/de/konzern/konzernprofil/zahlen_fakten/puenktlichkeitswerte-6878476 https://www.deutschebahn.com/de/konzern/konzernprofil/zahlen... IC and ICE ratio of being on time within 15 minutes of schedule: 82% in May 2023 RB/RE ratio of being on time within 15 minutes of schedule: 98% in May 2023 Or in other words, ICEs are late roughly 10 times as often as RB/REs are.
- soco 3y agoWait folks do you really define "on time" as "within 15 minutes of schedule"??? You are guaranteed to miss all your connecting trains while officially being "on time"...
- est31 3y agoThere is two categories on the page, one for 15 minutes, one for 5 minutes. As for losing your connecting train, it's definitely a danger if you arrive with 15 minutes delay, yes. That's also why if you reclaim parts of your ticket price, they consider the whole journey and not just the delay of some individual train. So a 15 minutes delay can in the end mean you arrived 1:30 hour late.
