And about Deutsche Bahn being unreliable: I travel weekly and rarely have a delay that forces me to postpone a meeting, reschedule a connection or (heaven forbid) not be at home in my favourite pub on time in the evening.
Maybe I'm an exception, but it seems to me that it's somehow ‘fashionable’ to simply complain about the German railway in general and about everything connected with train travel. I've only ever noticed this from Germans, but it seems to be an international trend now ...
I tried the Google Translate tool the other day with the Bahn link and it didn’t work. Didn’t pursue it further since I don’t need the translation.
I agree that there is somewhat of an echo chamber. There probably
are more delays and more construction sites (*). But I think most people just like to complain and rehash what they heard/read somewhere, without a ton of personal data points. I take trains in Germany maybe 3-5 times a year, and yes, I have experienced delays and misconnects. But I also experience delays with air travel, so for me it’s just part of the travel experience. I guess I am not spoiled by rail travel in Switzerland
(*) and the whole point of construction sites is to make the system more reliable. Autobahn travel can be impacted by construction sites as well.
