American Express I get. No one uses that in Europe. Visa and Mastercard debit cards are what everyone uses and they work in all German ticket machines. You weren't trying to use a credit card where you?

What language do you expect the Germans to use?

I don't think the person expected the Germans to use a different language, only was saying that they weren't entirely sure what it said.

For a train going to an airport, English.

This is the norm around the world, especially with complicated situations like a train splitting in two.

Lots of people use Amex in Europe. It's very popular as a business card.

		I doubt that it is popular with the actual users, only with the company that they work for. When I had a company issued AMEX card the damn thing was practically useless. In fact even in the US there were plenty of places that wouldn't accept it.
