Meanwhile the public transportation system, especially the “Deutsche Bahn” (German Railway), is led into ruin, i.a., because of significant lacks in public funding. It is “Autobahn first”. Highways and streets for cars have a much higher priority, sadly. However, it’s good to see that the Deutschlandticket is attracting more people to switch to public transportation. I wonder how long this effect will last, since the state and quality of public transport is degrading.
