> But anyone who waits to cross into Gerokstraße could be waiting a long time - almost three decades if they are patient enough.

Did anyone notice the awesome pun ? If you wait that long, you will become a patient :-)

Clever, but I don't think that was intended. Too subtle.

I don't see the pun. Can you explain it?

patient - able to wait long enough

patient - you wait so long that you'll fall ill/die, thus becoming a hospital patient

thats nonsense, and not a pun

Maybe it's that famous german sense of humor...
