> I was trying to travel 35 kilometers. I was now 63 kilometers from my grandmother’s house. Further away than when I started. Oh boy. There's something deeply human about the frustrations of state institutions and bureaucracy. From the linked article: > How are train cancellations and delays compensated when traveling with the Deutschland-Ticket? > In the event of a delay of at least 60 minutes at the destination station due to a delay or train cancellation in local transport, you will receive €1.50 compensation per case. > Amounts under €4 will not be paid out due to a legal de minimis threshold. However, you can accumulate multiple late payment claims. https://www.bahn.de/faq/deutschlandticket-verspaetung-erstat... | ||||||||

Maybe worth mentioning that this „1.50€ compensation“ rule only matters if you use the „Deutschland-Ticket“ which is a fixed price ticket for a whole month, unlimited travel on the Regio lines (short distance trains, i.e. non IC) If you bought a regular route ticket you get 25% and more than an hour delay, and 50% at more than two hours. Not sure how it is with other multi-use tickets. This, combined with the certain delays CAN make traveling by train quite affordable… /s https://www.bahn.de/service/informationen-buchung/fahrgastre... | ||||||||

Planes have never diverted people to the wrong country. It’s always state institutions. | ||||||||
