“Deutsche Bahn, the fully state owned railway company, is a well liked company”. Eh, nope. It’s a horribly mismanaged entity with permanent delays, bad service

“Deutsche Bahn, the fully state owned railway company, is a well liked company”. Eh, nope. It’s a horribly mismanaged entity with permanent delays, bad service and outrageous pricing…

Sorry, I have a hard time holding back my sarcasm when writing while being annoyed, I thought the link to the 1.2 trust pilot rating gave it away. As this was mostly written as anger management, the writing is pretty poor. :)

  Don't worry, some of us got it. That part made me chuckle.

    Yes, plus the rest of the article makes it clear this link was done in sarcasm.

  All is clear; I enjoyed that bit :)

  It wasn’t you, the sarcasm was obvious. Germans generally don’t understand sarcasm, written or spoken.

    Most times the issue is that Germans do never break out from being sarcastic.

I recall I was once on a Deutsche Bahn train, it was delayed more than an hour (not that I cared I wasn't in a rush). One worker came around handing out envelopes, since everyone was entitled to a partial refund, I had to sign it, and then mail it back to them? What the fuck? Not even Hitler would've allowed this

  This was fixed just a couple of years ago. (Not the delays, but at least the refund process was streamlined.)

    Does a worker now hand out envelopes filled with cash?
    - 1718627440 1y ago
      Now they are not allowed to accept the refund and you can only mail it to their bureaucracy.

  It's an automated process nowadays if you purchase your tickets via their app. (Which in turn acts as KYC and makes it impossible to travel anonymously.)
