I tried the ICE from 🇳🇱 to 🇨🇭, 1st class reserved seats. But ended up missing connections and standing shoulder to shoulder in the hallway 😭

That's what you get with half privatized train systems and governmentally created monopolies

It's system collapse: 90% of such trains were on time on 2019, 80% in 2020, 75% in 2021, and 64% in 2022

Damn if only they could borrow some money to invest in infrastructure. Too bad they put a stupid debt brake into their constitution

ICE's aren't allowed to enter Switzerland. they are running so late, that is messed up the schedule of the Swiss railway operator

Is it a problem with the automation? Seems like LZB and PZB should ensure they run pretty efficiently
