Igor Aidman: "Not all the gold that shines"

"Deutsche Bahn will reform the Ukrainian railway company." I am sure that the use of experience of the most successful European railway company will increase the efficiency and quality of railway transportation in Ukraine, "said the Prime Minister of Ukraine." As a regular client of Deutsche Bahn, I can say that this huge state monster works with great interruptions, ”writes a sociologist living in Germany on his Facebook page.

"Trains are constantly late. Accidents take place regularly, what kind of troubles I did not fall thanks to DB. I was planted from a broken train and waited two hours on a half -land without a canopy at night in the rain, when the bus sent for passengers. Many times was late for a transplant train, an airplane, etc. If the DB train is an ordinary story (especially if there is a common story if there is a common story. transplants).

At the same time, small private companies do not withstand competition with the monster and die. At one time I went on trains of such a campaign from Leipzig to Berlin and back. Tickets were cheaper than in DB. Service is no worse. But the company could not stand competition with the monopolist and went bankrupt.

If they ask me that it works worst in Germany, I will answer Deutsche Bahn.

So I advise Friends -Ukrainians not to be used to common myths - not all the gold that shines, even as elegant as some DB trains. "
