German trains arrive... When they arrive. Same for Busses and airplanes 😅

Germans value punctuality. But our train system is a mismanaged mess. If you are ever late to an appointment with a german, communicate that you are late. And if you tell them that the train was late, all will be good.

The biggest lie I grew up with is that the German transport is always on time. That's Denmark and even France, definitely not Germany.

I like how you can always recognize Rotterdam by its uniquely ugly architecture.

4:20 „That can‘t be right“ - oh, Pete, you sweet summer child. How do you think Lufthansa earns money? It’s not with great service and customer friendliness, obviously. It’s with extortion. Any Lufthansa-only connection is extremely expensive (try Geneva - Frankfurt). Any short-term booking is extremely expensive. Any change is extremely expensive.

Not only are you never getting used to this, it continuously gets worse! At some point you just grow numb towards it… Source: am German

bro tried to get post 15th century travel in germany

I can't believe that anyone would deliberately book themselves a two-part, longer flight just to get some frequent flyer miles. Sorry to say but anyone crazy enough to do that had this coming lol.

Frankfurt was fine honestly, the Altstadt is cute and they have this really cool museum called the Städel. only the main station is sus af. but idk why this German man wouldn't come to the conclusion that the Japanese couple would probably be travelling around the region for their honeymoon instead of just staying in Frankfurt 😂. probably just wants to chew out the place as a Bavarian

If u have been to Japan and Singapore, the rest of the world is just shit

We are in the middle of Euro 2024

The lesson I'm learning here is that valuing miles for a layover was a terrible decision.

Kinda agree with that man, why would anybody go to Frankfurt for their honeymoon? But I guess I'm from Munich as well 🤣 Munich definitely isn't an hour away from Frankfurt though. They may both be in Germany but Frankfurt is in the center West and Munich in the South-East.

The part with the map just sounds like Connor's inability to apply his problem-solving skills to reading a map... Or just use Google Maps like a normal person? Also, why didn't he just take a train from wherever he was in Germany to (what looks like) Rotterdam? Probably goes more often than the plane does and would be cheaper as well...

I always wonder how this misconception about german trains started to spread around the world. We have one of the worst systems here. If you lie down on the tracks in hope that the train will end you, what will actually happen is you will find your end through starvation before that happens.

So Connor got to experience planes, busses and taxis in Germany... thank goodness he didn't have to take a train, that would have been worse than all of the other 3 combined 😂

How bad can it be

Deutsche Bahn (national railway) is underfunded since decades. They have reduced the amount of train tracks drastically. The result now is: an absolute shit fest.

Frankfurt staff (applies to LH aswell) are some of the best and worst people I’ve ever met. They are either super helpful or just tell you to fuck off. Only way I’m flying Lufthansa is with a business class ticket. Atleast them they pretend to like you since you paid a lot of money

netherlands goated fr would just be the japan of europe if the uk just didn't exist or traded places😂

Trains in most rural areas of Hokkaido with only bears are more on time than any EU train.

German bureaucracy is the worst 😅

Germany=Europe

If the delay was over 3 hours he was entitled to get any flight to his destination he wanted, and the airline had to pay it, no questions asked. Not only that, they have to pay any other accommodations or transportation you might need to get to your destination.

I am very important. I am the 513th person to watch this video. Hopefully, I can be the first one to watch a video next time so I can say "first." So exciting! Can't wait!

after living in Japan and Singapore everywhere else the transport systems feel like a downgrade fr

As a German I gotta apologize for our ridiculous public transport system 😂

Germany and germans altogether are not what the legends say anymore, the whole country's riding on their reputation and it shows any time you have to deal with them or their systems.

I watched this live and am the first to comment

Skill issue :D

For most of my life, I thought that German trains must be like their highways. Fast, well maintained, over all good quality. Then I started to use them on regular basis. The number of times I got stuck somewhere, because Germans decided to just cancel the train. The number of times, where I bought first class ticket and then had to switch to regular commuter train, because Germans have decided to cancel my train half way... German railroads are a joke. That's why I lmfaod hard, when German railroad workers were on strike. Bruh, for this kind of performance, you deserve to be paid half potato a day and nothing more. I literally never arrived anywhere in Germany even remotely on time using German trains. For any trip under 7 hours (with available parking at the final destination), I use a car.
