  … 100% of the time, 5% of the time.

  In 2023, the on-time arrival percentage of ICE trains was 60something%. That’s not exactly a number that screams reliability. I don’t remember the exact number DB had to pay out for delay compensations that year but it was an embarrassing sum. Just today 2 separate people in my group chat were saying unsavory things about DB’s mother because of 30+ minute delays on two separate ICE trains.

  German trains being on time is a myth.

    While punctuality is not the German trains strong point, this is mostly due to congestion and construction sites. The trains as such are remarkably reliable.

      if you want to know how well ICEs can perform with a functional rail network, look to Spain’s renfe. It’s built by Siemens and basically an ICE with a purple strip.

        Indeed, they are working better on a non-congested rail system.
