Yeah, it’s really getting to the point where this isn’t tolerable any more. I make 4-6 long distance trip per year and you basically can’t make plans without adding in hours of buffer time to account for potential delays.
One of my connections earlier this year was so fucked up, a scheduled 4h journey took me almost 9h. That’s when I finally snapped and just took the plane.
They are more punctual, takes me half the total travel time … and isn’t even that much more expensive. The biggest problem is that you have to rely in the trains to get to the airport …
I wish the German populace could actually hold their government more accountable than guilt-smearing those who took flights instead of the shabby train service torment available in their country simply because they wanted mobility guarantee. That shouldn’t have been at the expense of some general people who just want to move from A to B with certain reliability on how their time should be used.
Flights are indeed environmentally terrible. But what better, affordable, time-wise reliable alternatives does this country have to offer? It’s not viable that money keeps being poured into the car or plane industry while travellers are blamed for not choosing overpriced yet late or even cancelled trains. Travelling less can work for optional trips but some journeys are just not optional.

Not for you, but for all of us. Flying is absolutely terrible for the environment.
Yeah, but the trains are absolutely terrible for my mental health … and that could get expensive, too!
