      That’s a terrific way of putting it. The staff onboard and at the stations are incredibly helpful!

    Watched it to the end; good job on choosing which points to emphasize. Tip #4 cannot be overstated! One thing I missed was a honest depiction of the potentially disorienting flow of masses rushing to and from platforms, especially in major transit hubs like Frankfurt or Cologne - never mind the necessity of navigating within those cities that have separate train stations serving national and international destinations. Have a nice one ;D

      That’s one of the things that highlights the importance of conversing with fellow travelers. It’s especially confusing at first, but once you know where to look, you get the hang of it.

    0:10 yay my home city :D On topic: I forgot who said it but, looking at eg Switzerland, it rings rather true: "A wealthy nation isn't one where everyone owns a car but where even the rich travel by public transport."

      ​@@AlexanderSkinnerVids Why yes, I do watch Not Just Bikes regularly ☺He is a true ambassador of urbanism and easily among the best on here.
      I'm almost certain about hearing that quote way earlier, though: I once had studied architecture before switching to civic engineering... anywho, I really appreciate you naming the exact source!

    As a European, I'd like to note that a lot of the new train sets aren't going to replacing existing train sets but to expanding service

      Appreciate your clarification! The DB ICE-1 (Class 401) was set to be replaced, but its been said it will be running until 2030. I’m just glad I got to ride onboard a couple of them.
