    state-owned railway company

    Just to clarify: DB is a (stock) company foremost, partially privatised, i.e. they need to make revenue. The process of making it competitive has been ongoing since at least the 1990s and most people agree that’s the reason for DB being such a constant fuck-up.

      Yeah, just look where the post comes from. The headline (followed once again by just a few lines of content) helps to let Germany or Europe look bad, that’s all what OP aims at.
