Experience report: On the way with Deutsche Bahn from Stuttgart's perspective

according to a report by www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de , the author describes his experience as a frequent driver with Deutsche Bahn and draws parallels to public transport in Timbuktu. His experiences range from considerable delays to misinformation on platforms to complicated surrounding and timetable changes. Even traveling in South Asia seems easier and more predictable in comparison.

additional information and local effects

It is known that Deutsche Bahn is fighting numerous challenges. A report by the Federal Audit Office of 2021 shows that delays and train failures are common: around a quarter of all long -distance trains were late in 2019.

At the local level in Stuttgart, this could have an impact on commuters, since Stuttgart is one of the ten cities with the most commuters in Germany. According to Statisticsamt Baden-Württemberg , around 280,000 people commuted to the city in 2019, many of them certainly with Deutsche Bahn. These delays and unreliability could thus have a significant impact on the Stuttgart economy and the well -being of employees.

In addition, Stuttgart has a large, ongoing infrastructure project, "Stuttgart 21", which will affect the capital -based rail traffic. As the reporting author notes, the construction of the Stuttgart 21 project is already taking advantage of the train passengers and requires further adaptability and patience.

role of digitization and information

Another point that is addressed in the report is the often missing or incorrect information on the platforms. Digital solutions could help here - for example the latest information provided via apps or websites.

Deutsche Bahn has already taken steps in this direction and developed an app called "DB Navigator" that offers real -time information and alternative routes. However, many users complain about functional disorders and inaccurate data. Optimizing and improving these digital services could help improve passengers' experience.

Despite its problems, Deutsche Bahn remains an important institution for passenger transport in Germany. Improvements in service and information transmission could help to ensure that passengers evaluate their experiences more positively and that the railways are less frustrating.
