Germany Will Force 80% of Gas Stations to Install EV Charging, Too

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
They're doing both. Yeah, I'd wish they'd do more for public transport. But the 49 Euro ticket was a good start.
A good start, but not proper investment in public transit. DB is still massivly underfunded and the road infrastructure, again, got more money to spend than the rail infrastructure, despite claiming the Ampel would do it the other way around.. :/
DB the company has a lot of foreign interests. It bought a British transport company in 2010. Why did they do this instead of reinvesting the money back into the Deutsche Bahn? Because it's a joint-stock company beholden to stake-holders. It should never have been managed like a private company. Now the damage is done and decades of unrepair is catching up to them.
Somehow I don't blame the politics for this disrepair. I blame the execs and upper management.
This is me, laughing at your comment as a bald eagle clutching an assault rifle flies over and shits simultaneously on my head and the idea of public transit.
