Genuine Question. Even if I look at hungarian Transport, and they to this day use trains from the UdSSR, they come more consistantly then the DB.

They are really Bad sometimes, with like 20 seperate prices: Theres the bayernwald ticket that only works in the alps, then theres the official ticket to the destination. Theres a special offer, but only in the very special APP. You can use a d-ticket, but look! Some random ass slum in the middle of the worlds ass dosent accept that, but it does the MVV zone Tickets. But then you need the MVV zone 11-M, a ticket to the beginning to the Nürnberg zones, and a ticket for the Nürnberg zones.

And yet this shit is better than americas rails? How?

    Don’t even need an Opal card- just tap your phone or your bank card.

    The network is also massive. You can tap on in Kiama and tap off in Scone. That’s about 400km, roughly equivalent to Berlin to Frankfurt, on regular metro trains. Might take a while, but you can do it.

      That’s even better then. I just used an Opal card, I’m sure my credit card would’ve worked fine but I tend to be extra cautious when It comes to things like that, plus it’s a nice souvenir
