    North-east Poland, haven’t seen temps above zero for a week now. We’ve got a nice coat of snow at first and it’s holding strong so that’s nice. Very early onset of winter after super warm October/November.

    How do you know it’s winter while sitting in a train of the Deutsche Bahn?

    -> It’s the heating that’s not working instead of the AC.

      It was 50cm in one day. Still SBB managed the weather considerably better with just some minor delays. It’s such a shame that we can’t have a well funded railway as well. But the Debate in Germany always revolves around prices, rarely about quality 😑. People will ride a reliable railway that can then cost something, for it’s quality. Not a cheap one that you can’t rely on

          49€/Month is cheap as fuck for local distance. In long distance I rarely paid more than 10 Cents/km which is also not expensive

            That’s a monthly ticket and has only been around for this year so far.

            A regular ticket is more expensive than in most other EU countries.

            Man i paid 74,80€ for my monthly bus pass from just my village to the next city where i work and thats not that far.

            None of that explains the desolate condition of our public transport.

            And a ICE ticket with a seat is more expensive than renting a fucking car…

              Show me where I can rent a car for 70€-80€ for 600-800km worth of travel including gas. That’s the maximum price you pay with a BahnCard50. Or without 160€ if there are no saver fares at all, and you don’t even have a BC25 (17,90€ for 3 Months) with which it would cost 120€

              Oh you can’t? Well it might be because your argument is made up bullshit

              And regarding the desolate condition of our public transport, underinvestment does explain this pretty good. The picture only shows rail infrastructure though
