Germans value punctuality. But our train system is a mismanaged mess. If you are ever late to an appointment with a german, communicate that you are late. And if you tell them that the train was late, all will be good.
A true master of punctuality manage it to be punctual even with DB in their way.
On Thursday I had to be somewhere in Hannover at 2pm so I took a connection where I would have arrived at 12:40. After a delay of the connecting train (30 minutes) and DB playing with us "guess the platform" (a game where the platform would be changed all 5 minutes and you have to guess where it actually would be in the end) to entertain us, I actually made it right on time!
German trains arrive... When they arrive. Same for Busses and airplanes 😅
The biggest lie I grew up with is that the German transport is always on time. That's Denmark and even France, definitely not Germany.
German trains used to always be on time - until the infrastructure got underfunded by austerity for decades.
@@tremondialIt's not underfunded, it's privatised. Germany took inspiration from UK's privatisation of rail and both rail systems are circling the drain thanks to that move.
Edit: I was wrong, Deutsche Bahn is a state owned company.
@@markusa5293 It is underfunded. Japan Rail and European rail operators in France, Spain or Italy are also privatised, but don't face the same problems as Deutsche Bahn, because their countries have continuously funded/subsidised their rail infrastructure.
Meanwhile for decades German transport ministers were always Bavarian conservatives who systematically diverted funds for rail infrastructure to car infrastructure, becuase it benefitted the Bavarian automobile industry.
@@markusa5293 No, it’s not privatised, that attempt was stopped over twenty years ago. It’s fully state owned, but Germany invested a fraction of what countries like Switzerland or Austria spent (proportionally, it is like one-fifth), so everything is broken.
@@mx2000 You're right, my bad
I like how you can always recognize Rotterdam by its uniquely ugly architecture.
It was bombed to bits in WW II and they rebuild it based on what was popular at the time: US architecture
@autohmae many cities rebuilt after ww2, but Rotterdam definitely rode the advant-garde wave the hardest.
4:20 „That can‘t be right“ - oh, Pete, you sweet summer child. How do you think Lufthansa earns money? It’s not with great service and customer friendliness, obviously. It’s with extortion. Any Lufthansa-only connection is extremely expensive (try Geneva - Frankfurt). Any short-term booking is extremely expensive. Any change is extremely expensive.
Not only are you never getting used to this, it continuously gets worse! At some point you just grow numb towards it…

The lesson I'm learning here is that valuing miles for a layover was a terrible decision.
Frankfurt was fine honestly, the Altstadt is cute and they have this really cool museum called the Städel. only the main station is sus af. but idk why this German man wouldn't come to the conclusion that the Japanese couple would probably be travelling around the region for their honeymoon instead of just staying in Frankfurt 😂. probably just wants to chew out the place as a Bavarian
bro tried to get post 15th century travel in germany
I can't believe that anyone would deliberately book themselves a two-part, longer flight just to get some frequent flyer miles. Sorry to say but anyone crazy enough to do that had this coming lol.
We are in the middle of Euro 2024
@zDToddy not like DB is any better outside of the Euro
I always wonder how this misconception about german trains started to spread around the world. We have one of the worst systems here.
If you lie down on the tracks in hope that the train will end you, what will actually happen is you will find your end through starvation before that happens.
If u have been to Japan and Singapore, the rest of the world is just shit
Deutsche Bahn (national railway) is underfunded since decades. They have reduced the amount of train tracks drastically. The result now is: an absolute shit fest.
So Connor got to experience planes, busses and taxis in Germany... thank goodness he didn't have to take a train, that would have been worse than all of the other 3 combined 😂
How bad can it be
The part with the map just sounds like Connor's inability to apply his problem-solving skills to reading a map... Or just use Google Maps like a normal person? Also, why didn't he just take a train from wherever he was in Germany to (what looks like) Rotterdam? Probably goes more often than the plane does and would be cheaper as well...
Frankfurt staff (applies to LH aswell) are some of the best and worst people I’ve ever met. They are either super helpful or just tell you to fuck off.
Only way I’m flying Lufthansa is with a business class ticket. Atleast them they pretend to like you since you paid a lot of money
Kinda agree with that man, why would anybody go to Frankfurt for their honeymoon? But I guess I'm from Munich as well 🤣 Munich definitely isn't an hour away from Frankfurt though. They may both be in Germany but Frankfurt is in the center East and Munich in the South-West.
Germany=Europe
netherlands goated fr would just be the japan of europe if the uk just didn't exist or traded places😂
German bureaucracy is the worst 😅
Trains in most rural areas of Hokkaido with only bears are more on time than any EU train.
Trains in rural Hokkaido? Are you still living in the 80's?
I am very important. I am the 513th person to watch this video. Hopefully, I can be the first one to watch a video next time so I can say "first." So exciting! Can't wait!
Go get 'em champ!

I have bad news for you, UA-cam does not show view counts in real time, because they need to vet them, because they are tied to ads which ties into money. So the numbers are delayed, so it's probably more... But especially with really low numbers the numbers are accurate. So if it says less than 100 you really are that number.
But I believe in you, you can do it ! 🙂
Germany and germans altogether are not what the legends say anymore, the whole country's riding on their reputation and it shows any time you have to deal with them or their systems.
What Reputation?!, people still hate us.
If the delay was over 3 hours he was entitled to get any flight to his destination he wanted, and the airline had to pay it, no questions asked.
Not only that, they have to pay any other accommodations or transportation you might need to get to your destination.
As a German I gotta apologize for our ridiculous public transport system 😂
after living in Japan and Singapore everywhere else the transport systems feel like a downgrade fr
Skill issue :D
For most of my life, I thought that German trains must be like their highways. Fast, well maintained, over all good quality. Then I started to use them on regular basis. The number of times I got stuck somewhere, because Germans decided to just cancel the train. The number of times, where I bought first class ticket and then had to switch to regular commuter train, because Germans have decided to cancel my train half way... German railroads are a joke. That's why I lmfaod hard, when German railroad workers were on strike. Bruh, for this kind of performance, you deserve to be paid half potato a day and nothing more. I literally never arrived anywhere in Germany even remotely on time using German trains. For any trip under 7 hours (with available parking at the final destination), I use a car.
The train drivers went on strike and they are almost never to blame for late or cancelled trains? Most of the time it's because of broken or old infrastructure or busy routes where one delay means that every train after it has to wait as well.
I don't think you should blame the workers for the problems. If it were a rare problem then maybe but because it's so frequent it's a systematic problem. It's a problem since unification back in the 90's. Since then to now the government did little to improve the railroad system (I mean just look at from which party and who our minister of transport is (mostly conservatives and liberals). And since our car industry is so important for the economy, public transport will always be neglected
Did you miss the part where our highways and bridges are currently also falling apart faster than they can get repaired?
As I understand it: it used to be better
Lack of government involvement and/or investment in public transport is only beneficial for those who build cars and/or roads.
