I live in the greater Rhein Ruhr area and the trains are always 30-90 mins late. Sometimes there’s a replacement bus but those only show up half of the time and the other half they’re even more late than the trains. Seriously, how can anyone maintain a job or social life with such poor public transit here?
My North American friends always comment about how “Europe is so great with its public transit” but this shit doesn’t work. The Netherlands doesn’t seem to have these issues. What gives? #local source
