I get you now. The thing is, travelling with train in Germany is literally more expensive than flying these days unless you book weeks in advance (just like for flights). The cost vs service when travelling with DB makes no sense any more. Where I live the rails are overgrown including along the platforms of the stations. Fences around the station property are broken down. When arriving the city's name on the entry points is unreadable. The counter is closed most of the time, only ticketing machine. Oh, and last year a train derailed on the way to Garmisch costing actual lives.
