That’s pretty strange about this competition thing. I’ve been repeatedly informed that the government is much better at running things like this.

The irony is that OPs train, the RE5, was actually not run by DB but by 'the competition': a private company called National Express.

What do you find strange about it?
I believe general wisdom in the US is that trains are best when run by the government at zero cost. This is presumably the best way to get transit. So the idea that competition would improve things is odd.
