    Well, I mean… this is a bit of a “both sides” thing, maybe. We’re in a not too bad spot, but could do much better, both things can be true I think.

    A lot of it is valid criticism, and the situation is quite dire and will be for the unforeseeable future now. And just because the UK is a neoliberal hellhole doesn’t mean Germany should become one as well.

    But yeah, there’s also a lot of non-constructive complaining, which frequently comes from people who aren’t even using public transport and just want to justify why they have (“”“neeeed”“”) a car.

    BC 50 is only a good option if you frequently need to go on short notice – you get 50% of the Flexpreis, but the same Sparpreis offers as the BC 25, which costs about 1/4 of the BC50.

    If you are flexible and can stay out of the busy hours you can still get great deals with the BC25.

    I recently booked Berlin to Cologne for 2 people first class for 60€ total. On the way back the train had 2h delay, so I got 40€ refund. All in all about 100€ for a two people round trip.

    And if someone wants to start the “2h delay!!!1!” talk: It would have been way worse on the highway, which had a major traffic jam for most of the day. Meanwhile I sat comfortably in the restaurant with beer, currywurst and fries (to quote Harald Juhnke: “no appointments and slightly tipsy” 👋)








  • So you didn’t bother to read the paper, didn’t you.

    using four cherry picked criteria

    There’s a lengthy part of that paper discussing their criteria, with references to other studies.

    Ford f950 with the extra black smoke package and factory standard swastika paint job

    Which doesn’t even remotely exist in Germany, where this study was done. Which, you know, you could have known if you’d actually read the study…

    It’s science for hire.
