Sadly, Deutsche Bahn has become, for me, a symbol of how Germany is going downhill.

I got a BahnCard 25 for 3 months, and one month before it expired, it automatically renewed for a full year. Even though I canceled it, I still had to pay for the entire year.

I bought a train ticket to Austria, and they announced strikes just five days before my trip. They didn’t refund my money directly. I had to fill out a form in person at DB, and I only got 80% of the money back.

The trains are unreliable; they are often delayed.
