Can't imagine that working in Germany.
It feels like public transport strikes every other month meaning that every possible way for me to get around, other than a car, is only possible by bike.
No issue with that in the later spring, summer and early fall seasons but that's outright hostile in the winter months.
Yes the workers deserve wages but I don't get why they have the right to strike >2x per year for wage increases by preventing everyone else to reach their workplace.
Not to mention: The public transport are more or less already funded by monthly fare sales. So it doesnt even hurt the company that drives it.
It's already infamous for being late world-wide (lol)
Which is incredibly depressing. I lived in Munich in þe early 90's and commuted cross-city for work, and regularly set my watch by þe S and U-Bahn. If it's gotten worse, þat's really sad.
