Has German'y's 9 Euro train fare been a success?

The goal of the program was to make more people use trains instead of cars.
You're telling me all the trains are now full of people.
Therefore, the program was clearly a success.

Yes. DB was in no way prepared for it so many trains were late and there was some chaos, but it made them worth the money.
Even flying is often cheaper than taking the train. They need to fix those prices.

No it caused the opposite, the working class is taking the car and the gypsys are now in the trains instead of roaming around.

>YOU VILL RIDE ZE SHARED, FULLY AUTONOMOUS, FULLY SURVEILLED TRANSPORT POD

>YOU VILL NOT OWN ZE CAR

>UND YOU VILL BE HAPPY

The goal of the policy was to get more people using the trains.
More people are using trains.
Therefore, the program was a success.

Trains literally turned into india tier trains.

Even got corona when I traveled to frankfurt because shit was so sldensely stacked. They then have the balls to claim that the "Sommerwelle" is happening.

It also led to more German tourists inside of Germany.

>heavily subsidize service
>demand increases heavily
i think you're onto something new here bong

Isnt that due to teh chinese virus?
I know UK tourism is booming because everyone is staying at home. Far fewer people want to get on a plane and breathe in some new experimental virus the chinks invented.

it's a scam, they had to give billions in subsidies to public transport companies during covid lockdowns and this is how they whitewash it

I like it a lot. Don't have to run and push away turkish manlets when they catch me evading the fares anymore, I can accept the 9 euro a month fee, with a heavy heart but still.

No, I met several people travelling around that told me they're doing it because of the ticket.

>A preliminary analysis found that, while previously longer train trips (in excess of 300km, or 186 miles) made up a majority of journeys on the German railway network, the reverse was true in June 2022. In just the first week, train trips of between 100km and 300km increased to 46% above pre-Covid levels – and, most impressively, to 58% for short-distance journeys of 30km to 100km. At the same time, a TomTom analysis found a decline in car congestion, resulting in improved driving times in 23 of 26 German cities examined.

Best government decision in the last 22 years

The biggest problem is car congestion. That shit needs to be sorted out. It shouldn't take an hour to travel 10km.

And unlike Americans and Americanized retards in this thread claim, cheaper train rides doesn't mean cars being taken away by government agents.

American 5 lane roads would definitely help here during rush hour.
But its not been a big problem since everyone works from home now. Or pretends to work.

Maybe they'd help, maybe they'd just make even more people drive until those 5 lanes are filled,

>American 5 lane roads would definitely help here during rush hour.
Americans have worse traffic jams than us in their major cities at peak times. They all own cars, big, stupid daft ones.

Ah, so it's 100% safe and effective

No because people would arrive at their destination and that means they leave the road and it would be empty.

>Americans have worse traffic jams than us in their major cities at peak times
Because they have way more people trying to drive in to the city.
If they had our transport systems nobody would get to work.

Take your schizophrenic antivaxx babble to your resident schizo antivaxx thread and fuck off.

>the trains are full of people who could normally not afford to travel
that's horrible ! your eliteness must be repulsed ! my condolences, you're just not with the build back better WEF plan ... Klaus is disappointed in you

It's the only gibs program ever I have benefitted from personally so it's cool my in books.

>Because they have way more people trying to drive in to the city.
Where? Which city? Which state?
London has a higher population density than any yank city except for Los Angeles.
Also, how do you propose we build a 5 lane motorways in a country where there is already a land shortage?

>heavily subsidize
meh depends on how many bought the ticket
I'd guess 70% percent of the population

They should make it europewide. All the latent soifags who are going to switch to public transport because of this won't jam the roads any longer

>It's the only gibs program ever I have benefitted from
self delusion is a wonderful game

Donetsk is the industrial center of the six-million region. Workers live here. My grandparents worked in the mine, my father worked in the mine, I work as an employment lawyer. I say hello to the hard workers from Germany! And I wish you a good weekend:)
