At least Germans are very good with statistics. You don't have to speak German to understand these graphics. The graphic at the end of this page shows the decline of the railway system (in km) https://www.forschungsinformationssystem.de/servlet/is/350049/ The graphic on this page shows the growth of highway (our famous Autobahn) https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/2972/umfrage/entwicklung-der-gesamtlaenge-des-autobahnnetzes/
If only the budget could have been swapped. Or, if only the DB wasn't run like a for-profit company.
Ich spreche ein bisschen. Ich kann es lesen aber langsam und mit einem Wörterbuch. 😅
The kilometers have been on a long decline. That is sad. You are the wealthiest country in Europe. There is more than enough resources to make an excellent rail system.
