Germany’s identity crisis: The trains no longer run on time
Germans are deeply frustrated over a train system that is falling apart, undermining the punctuality that has long been core to Germany’s national self-image.... 56 percent of trains arrive within six minutes of the scheduled time — which is the cushion Deutsche Bahn, the national railroad company, allows itself for an “on-time” arrival.
