Oh yeah, DB is indeed extremely bad. Not really related to high speed trains, but I was relying on assistance to switch trains in germany three times (I am blind), and in all cases, nobody showed up despite me registering a day in advance.
In Austria, where I come from, I have been forgotten about exactly once in my whole life. Does tell you something about how well organized the germans apparently are.
I didn’t know that. But then again, I only moved to Berlin late last year and I came from the UK, which is much much worse.
I still cannot believe how bad British trains are. They seem to ignore that functioning train systems exist, and just do it their own (broken) way.
Yeah I'm trying to get Great Western Rail to honor a delay compensation claim. What an awful company.
I always hear my German colleagues complain about DB but having taken UK trains for a few years I can’t fault DB.
Complaining is just something Germans do though.
We have a saying: "Not complaining is enough praise."
Complaining is the german way to socialize.
One of my ex-gf's mother is German. She drives her totally crazy with the complaining. And the older she gets the more she has to complain about.
And that's horrible.
True
You can't just say DB is really bad without putting it in relation to their prices.
