Wanted to say that too. I mean, technically the train network is pretty well connected but it's so underfunded that trains oftentimes don't drive at all or they're late and then every train after that is also late. It's mostly fine but it happens way too often. I had to stand in freezing cold for an hour or longer too many times in the last three years where I took the train daily.
I don't know, maybe it's just particularly bad where I live, but I regularly have to the the god damn Schienenersatzverkehr, and even this god damn fucking bus that is supposed to replace the train is always like 20 minutes late. Like how the fuck do you even mess that up DB? HOW?!
Yeah, I had to take a SEV for a while too because there was construction on the train tracks and I came late every single day because apparently nobody at DB thought that 2 full trains (and with full I mean that people always had to stand because there weren't enough seats) couldn't just fit into one bus. That bus was always completely full (people standing in the middle up to the front door) and a lot of people still just wouldn't fit in.
Average DB experience
But I'm sure it's gonna get better if the FDP keeps taking away funds to use them for autobahns
Imagine having to take the train, Geringverdiener! Your rich dad didn't get you an RS6 for your 18th birthday? Suck it, looser!
