Liberals, please take notes. It all started with the train service being privatized to increase efficiency and decrease costs.
The truth is even worse than the article suggests. I use the train every week. Switching train once after 10 Minutes with total started travel time of 2 hours. In only 20% of the time does that actually work. I am happy with only 20 minutes delay as often it ends up 45-60 minutes. Plus the cognitive load because I have to take care to change my travel route depending on where and when I and arrive and I have to regularly check the app, switch platform and alike.
