France is certainly better
- direwolf20 9mo agoI believe Germany's is much more interconnected while France's mostly goes from Paris to other places. Mesh versus star topology.
- hdgvhicv 9mo agoThat’s be a use Germany economy is far more distributed (5 or so economic centres) across the country where as counties like France and U.K. have one centre, and places like Spain and Italy two (Madrid/Barca and Rome/Milan)
- SvenL 9mo agoYes, as a German I can agree. However, I remember the anecdote of how France has two different companies for the trains and trainstations. The first ordered trains which were a little bit to wide for the trainstations, due to a miss communication. When I read about this, I thought „this could have been Germany too.“
- f1shy 9mo agoIn fact German ICEs are limited in speed in Germany because of the rails, when they cross to France go faster.
- hermanzegerman 9mo agoCertainly not. Nobody wants to book his train 2 weeks in advance to reserve a seat, because otherwise it's "sold out". Also Commuter Rail (TER) is a total Joke outside of Ile-de-France. Sometimes also even with mandatory reservation. I think SNCF confuses itself with an Airline
