The situation with trains in Germany is appalling. Our kids need to go to school by train. Even though it is the only line using that route, there are constant delays and cancellations. DB (Deutsche Bahn) often does not even care to inform the passengers of such events over the loudspeakers or displays. I routinely take at least one train earlier to increase the probability of reaching my destination in time. Working from home has saved me a good amount of stress over the years.

This is not motivating anyone to switch from cars to trains.
