Honestly as an American, when I visited Germany I bought a deutschland ticket and used regional transit to travel most of the country. I used the DB navigator app.
It was hands down the best travel of my life. Just hop on a train and go anywhere. The delays were usually well recorded in the app and I could usually just reroute.
I was traveling for leisure though so waiting an extra 10 minutes was not a big deal, but all the city transit and local trains seemed to be mostly on time. Regional were the only ones I encountered with delays.
Complaining about DB is a German national pastime.
9 in 10 regional trains are „on time“. Only 2 in 3 long distance trains are „on time“.
„On time“ is 5 minute delay or less. Cancellations are excluded from the statistic.
haha what absolute bullshit, what the hell?
They do this in Norway too... they say that 70 % of trains are "on time", but don't mention that only 80 % of trains leave the station at all in the first place, and that the 70 % on time disregards those.
Note: I'm not quite sure about the numbers, the concept is the point.
