Review of Deutsche Bahn

Deutsche Bahn is a company that always surprises. No matter how little you expect, it always manages to disappoint and stunn you again and again.

Employees are disastrous. The prices are way too high. The infrastructure is the last. The customer service is the worst in the world that I have ever noticed in any company - no matter what industry.

Due to the almost criminal business conduct, the opaque price structure, the still complete monopoly position and the state subsidies, the railway is almost inviolable. Any other company would have long since fallen victim to consumer protection or bankruptcy. Unfortunately, the mafia-like business model protects the company.

I really sincerely hope that the management of Deutsche Bahn will make further wrong decisions and will eventually rush into bankruptcy. This is the only way for investors with more foresight, progressiveness and the courage to change, to completely renew this backward holdover from a bygone era.
