That’s silly.
If you want to read, why this decision was made, here’s the thread
It also has an English version below the text in German
The article focus mainly on high speed rail (ICE), which might be the least bad. I my experience, regional and commuter trains are even more of a mess.
DB Regio reports an 89% puctuality figure for 2025 (down 1% from 2024). https://ibir.deutschebahn.com/2025/de/zusammengefasster-lagebericht/entwicklung-der-geschaeftsfelder/geschaeftsfeld-db-regio/entwicklung-im-berichtsjahr/
I don’t doubt there are certain regions or lines where the regional and commuter trains are worse than your average ICE, but it’s not the norm.
Cool to see the exact figures, thanks. Although strange they consider a regional train late from 6 minutes delayed, while in the article they mentioned 5 minutes for ICE.
They’re actually different companies with different rules and different management, under the umbrella of one corporation, which is 100% owned by the state. Welcome to Germany.
