Genuine Question. Even if I look at hungarian Transport, and they to this day use trains from the UdSSR, they come more consistantly then the DB.

They are really Bad sometimes, with like 20 seperate prices: Theres the bayernwald ticket that only works in the alps, then theres the official ticket to the destination. Theres a special offer, but only in the very special APP. You can use a d-ticket, but look! Some random ass slum in the middle of the worlds ass dosent accept that, but it does the MVV zone Tickets. But then you need the MVV zone 11-M, a ticket to the beginning to the Nürnberg zones, and a ticket for the Nürnberg zones.

And yet this shit is better than americas rails? How?

Really? Like... How do you move around then? Only cars? But if you dont want / have a car? If youre still doing your drivers license?

It’s not that alien is it? People rely on cars pretty heavily in most smaller towns in Germany.

Not German, but close enough - there's usually at least one bus within walkable distance, even if it's only like 4 times a day or something, that connects to a larger hub.

I lived in a place where I had to be by the bus stop at 7h30. If I missed that I'd have to wait for the next at 8h15, and if I missed that one, I'd better call to say I wasn't able to go that day.

However, in smaller towns and in the countryside, with no cars, life is so different to the frenetic chaos of big cities that it's hard to put into words.
