Kek.Germanons, is German rail infrastructure in such bad state? It's not like were much better - our rail is much less dancier and less people use the trains. But train being late is not that common
>>201314407No I think about it, CDU was in power for what, 16 years? They don't seem like anti-train pro-car party, do they?
>>201314407yes, but it still generally works. Delays are common, basically the norm at this point, but if the train is 5 min late it'll be displayed in the app and that's what counts into those million cases.
>>201314407Yes
>>201314465>this level of cuckoldryI love missing my connection. Trust the app, chud!>>201314407Our rail is used by every type of train, so it’s no surprise that the ICE is delayed by 10 minutes, because it has to wait for a regional train or an S-Bahn train.
>>201314465>that's what counts into those million cases.But they talk about changing the timetables, not delays.>Our rail is used by every type of train, so it’s no surprise that the ICE is delayed by 10 minutesSame here: cargo trains, regional, intercity, express intercity mostly on the same rails. It's also very crowded. Express Intercity got priority though and is very rarely late.
>>201314559Do you not have enough passing tracks?
>>201314465>Delays are common, basically the norm at this point, but if the train is 5 min lateIs is still possible to normally use train to get to work? Like 5/10 min late is not that bad if the train goes every 20 minutes, I guess.
>>201314641It’s just garbage infrastructure. France or Spain don’t have this problem.
>>201314407>>201314465The German train is so shit, last time I went from Berlin to Munich it had THREE hours delay so I missed my appointment. And buying a ticket back cost me 180€.These people are such lazy pieces of shit. While Japan has fixed this kinda stuff decades ago Germany literally never improves, it always stays at the same shit level
>>201314677Isn't your country richer than those two? Why aren't you investing more in rail infrastructure?
>>201314725Thinking “X country rich therefore better” is peak thirdie mentality. Spain has the best high-speed rail in Europe.
>>201314697>I went from Berlin to Munich it had THREE hours delay so I missed my appointmentAh shit that's really bad >And buying a ticket back cost me 180€.Pretty expensive, ICE I guess? Here the most expensive ones (EIP) would cost like 45€ for similar route (Kraków-Gdańsk)
>>201314465Why are you literally in every thread defending anything bad in Germany? Yesterday it was about the shootings in Frankfurt
Rail infrastructure is probably one of the only things I like from Spain, I use it a lot to go to my village and back
>>201314926what abut the food and weather
>>201314660yes it's possibleif you want to travel and need several connections, you should plan at least with 10 min in between bc otherwise there's a high chance you'll miss a connectionas I said, delays are common, missing a connection is common, it is annoying, but you obviously can still get from A to B>>201314850I'm not, I complain about Germany a lot tooyou're mistaking me for someone else and I wasn't in that thread yesterday
>>201314407>Charlie picbased
>>201314407Regional trains are semi-okay. I've never taken an ICE that wasn't hilariously late. Besides DB being archaic and unreliable, we have much worse tracks than Spain, Italy or France.
>>201314407Regional/commuter train work fine most of the time. Long distances train are complete dumpster fire though and are usually overfilled and delayed.
>>201314979Early Sunny was kino
>>201314990>>201315036That's really weird. In Poland regional trains are fine, Intercity are garbage (usually) but cheap, but EIP is great.
>>201314753Of course it's not universally true, but it's funny how countries with less money manage to get it right.
I thought we had bad railways until i visited other euro cunts. Played with Marklin trains when i was a kid and thought Germany had the best public transport.
>>201314407>NOOO MY TRAIN WAS 5 MINUTES LATE GERMANY HAS FALLEN HITLER SAVE ME
>>201315161Yeah the critical part is the one where company execs have to decide what to do with the money they get. Improve the network, or pocket it and let the next guy worry about the fallout?
>>201314725>Isn't your country richer than those two? Why aren't you investing more in rail infrastructure?haha; ;
>>201314465>5 min delayHoly, that's horrible. I've only seen 2 minutes delayed train once in my life.
>>201314407At least you don't have the US railway system
just keep the autobahns in working order and everyone who actually contributes to society at all gets to where they're going
>>201314697>The German train is so shit, last time I went from Berlin to Munich it had THREE hours delay so I missed my appointment. And buying a ticket back cost me 180€.Kek. You're making our super shitty rail look good by comparison lmao
>>201315879Considering that Germany has no speed limits, I wonder, do they have high speed buses? Like buses between cities which go on 240 km/h or something.
>>201314641They scrapped them because they wanted to 'optimize' the company in preparation for privatization. Then 2009 happened and the IPO was cancelled. Now the network has been severely underfunded and basically on the brink of collapse. Thanks Pinochet.
>>201315820> leftSOVL> rightSOVLLESS
>>201314725Because that's communism.
>>201315985>Considering that Germany has no speed limitsonly in very certain parts of highways + you'd have to count on low traffic
>>201316030
>>201315985does a bus exist which cruises at 240km/h
>>201315820cool, do they exist outside of bangkok?
>>201316075
>>201316112Yeah. We're even getting a high speed rail connecting us to Laos and China.
>>201316099That's what I like to now.>>201316074Damn, I thought it is almost everywhere in Germany.
Germany makes trains, but is unable to use them properly
>>201315879A lot of people take the train because it's faster than the autobahn. You have to understand that there are a lot of trucks and lorries from all across Europe here.
>>201315219>5 minutes lateHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah sure if you hang a zero at the end and multiply it by two! Don't forget that you won't get your follow up train and you propably have to wait another hour, that will also be late one or two hours. This is the DB experience.
>>201316223>faster than the AutobahnI don’t go 130 like some granny
>>201314465I had a massive delay going to paris a few years ago. I asked for compemsation amd they quickly denied it.
>>201316188http://www.autobahnatlas-online.de/Limitkarte.pdfblue is limitless
>>201316400So there is still can be such commuting between large cities.
>>201316478The average experience is >go 180>oh, fuck, it’s yet another Baustelle>spend 15 minutes going at a snail’s pace>hell, yeah, back to 180>oh, shit, it’s a Stau>back to snail pace
>>201316632But 180 isn't high... Some people drive on 180 here.For me it's usually like this:>go 130>oh, fuck, cameras>drop to 100, pass the cameras>then back to 130
>>201316827>Some people drive on 180 hereIt’s legal here, Ivan. You can go 300 if you really want.
>>201316929I know. I mean here it's illegal and people drive on 180, but you have unlimited speed and drive only on 180. What's the point?
>>201317025in many cars it's not really comfortable to drive more than 150 km/h
Blame it on too many Balkaners and Turks working there.I understand them working as ticket guys or drivers but they should have never gotten middle management positions.Frankfurt railways are unironically worse ran than Croatian railways
>>201314850Its much more common to see people constantly shitting on countries like Germany and Sweden than the oppositeNeither are rational opinions and only agenda driven
Mfw mogging firstoid
>>201314407Yes, the city I live in is amazing, but the rest of the country is fucking ass lol
>>201317025Fuel costs more here so drivers are more conscious, and unless everyone else is also going 200 you can't go that fast for any amount of time, except when it's night and completely empty
>>201316021>Thanks Pinochet.Ironically, railways were one of the only things he couldn't privatize or kill.
Don't look up the state of the railroad's in the Congo delta of Europe
