You haven’t seen Croatian rail then ;)
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.

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.
working as intended. for several generations, the car lobby fills the management of deutsche bahn.

Wait until you hear about German trains.
Can’t be late if it doesn’t arrive at all.
Portugals trains joined the chat
600 Minuten Später
Also quasi pünktlich
Wait till you hear about Bulgarian trains
You guys have trains?
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.
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.
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.”
Well at least Marc never comes prematurely.
Just wait until BORT’s date with METRA, the sexy sounding voice assistant of trains
Don’t forget BART and DART as well.
should have named them BORT and BURT
marc this, marc that, I don’t believe your train-boyfriend exists, mary. prove it or stop talking about him.
He live in Cananda you wouldn’t know him…
MARC is unfortunately only a regional train for Maryland, and he is very limited on the weekends… The national passenger train system is called Amtrak.
Oooh, is he Swedish?
…that’s the shanghai maglev
edit: it was built by siemens though, so get a few euro wank points.
It’s a nice train, that must be like the capital of Europe?
Don’t give Xi any ideas
Japanese transit users: “Don’t worry, we can grab the next one. It will be here in 48 seconds.”
“in precisely 48 seconds”
We deeply apologize that it took the train 49 seconds to arrive. We have prepared notes for your boss in case you’re late, and there will be a half page ad in tomorrow’s paper confirming our CEO has committed seppuku to atone.

Spock: Forty eight point three seven seconds, Captain.
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.
I don’t get why you’re being downvoted. Rural area’s can be a pain to reach. Especially with luggage.
Or small kids
Probably because of the reputation of BMW drivers in the US. And the reputation for cost and frequency of maintenance and repairs in the US. A lot of people have a thing against beamers.
I write from the European perspective, where E46 is not a luxury but one of cheapest choices. Maybe you are right about the US reputation
Because people here hate cars and cannot appreciate the value of a good drive
