I didn’t know that. But then again, I only moved to Berlin late last year and I came from the UK, which is much much worse.


I still cannot believe how bad British trains are. They seem to ignore that functioning train systems exist, and just do it their own (broken) way.


Yeah I'm trying to get Great Western Rail to honor a delay compensation claim. What an awful company.


I always hear my German colleagues complain about DB but having taken UK trains for a few years I can’t fault DB.


Complaining is just something Germans do though.

We have a saying: "Not complaining is enough praise."


Complaining is the german way to socialize.


One of my ex-gf's mother is German. She drives her totally crazy with the complaining. And the older she gets the more she has to complain about.


And that's horrible.
