Flying is the worst too because you have to show up at minimum an hour early to get through security, then wait for the thing to show up and board, plus taxi time across the run way (some airports are awful about traffic).
Trains you just gotta get there with enough time to get on before it leaves.
I always feel stressed when flying. I never or rarely feel stressed taking the train.
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ Come to Germany. And you will be stressed. Train infrastructure is a Desaster. It’s just not flexible enough to accommodate all destinations and cargo.
Disaster is relative. I've used it and can see its flaws but compared to other places, it's still amazing.
Intercity is actually a mostly enjoyable experience, if there wasn’t the horrendous price.
Regional travel though is a bad experience. Maybe not as bad as in India, or other countries with their own problems, but for European standards, it’s pretty shitty.
Though it is underfunded.
Whenever something doesn’t work, then everyone claims that it is underfounded.
Maybe it’s just too complex to work properly. One mistake always starts a chain reaction and due to the centralised organisation of train infrastructure, there are not many options to solve diverse issues.
