You clearly havent heard of swedish trains.

The railroad here is a bad joke at this point, mainly due to shutting down the organization that was responsible for maintainence and shoving it into another agency that has no clue. As a bonus the new agency doesn’t even do the repair work themselves but hires contractors at the lowest bidder. So stuff breaks constantly, which causes delays.

At this point just getting the rail network to “normal” standards would cost billions. Let alone expanding it to cope with current traffic levels.

Me When My metro train (Santiago) doesn’t immediately arrive as soon as i touch the platform.

Which eu countries? Most of eu countries are on second meme

It’s funny, but after traveling around Europe, I’ve learned one important lesson: avoid booking flights with short layovers! If the transfer time is less than 3-4 hours, you’re playing a risky game. Delays happen more often than you’d think, and in some cases, flights get pushed to the next day due to ‘bad weather’ (or other mysterious reasons). Better to have a buffer than to get stuck at the airport overnight!

So that’s what a train looks like

Deutsch Bahn would like a word.

I often take my car because it’s so damn unreliable.

Not once, not twice, but three times I’ve sat on a train for 2+ hours without moving within the past 2 years.

Portugal is in America 😂😂😂😂😂 and it’s gotten way worse since the pandemic

I’m literally riding the Shinkansen in Japan right now as I come across this meme.

Wait until you hear about German trains.

no fast railways in the US at all, hyperloop delayed cali long enough til trump was able to stop it in his first term. it would solve alot of employment locaitons issues like biotech, and tech hubs. which are situated outside of major freeways and highways and major metro areas, even cars have a trouble navigating to.

Buying BMW E46 with LPG is always a good idea. Small car (according modern standards) with great driving fun. Somehow you need to get to the train station, especially in rural areas.

Although there are many improvements to be made, like international euro rail connecting the capitals, better prices, a reliable DB and most importantly EU standard track system, I love our euro rails.

But I’ve gotta confess, the fact the US train is called Marc is kinda cool.

“Hey, I wonder where Marc is. Is he coming?”

“Nah men, Marc is completely derailed again. He burned down an entire town and he’s toxic AF.”

…that’s the shanghai maglev

edit: it was built by siemens though, so get a few euro wank points.

Japanese transit users: “Don’t worry, we can grab the next one. It will be here in 48 seconds.”
