You think they don't understand that higher prices lead to lower sales?

I'd rather see it on real news sites than in meme communities though. And that goes for this post too

I never saw Ukraine war footage here on Lemmy. Where is it posted?

Congrats on not getting anxious I guess?

I'm not going to talk with someone who doesn't reply to the comment I wrote.

Are these guys juggalos?

A couple of minutes delay almost never causes a missed connection in the UK, because connection times that the route planning service uses are more generous than that. You'd have to be quite unlucky: probably a combination of a connection from one end of the station to another and a mobility issue. Connection times are built around this scenario, but I don't think they build in slack for it.

I get travel anxiety but have never had my day "ruined" by a couple of minutes delay. It sounds like you might mean that the metric isn't useful for the very narrow scenario of someone who will get crippling anxiety from that, which is fair enough, but that doesn't make it "unrealistic".

It can happen if delays are rare, yeah

Cannot confirm from the DB reports which put it at about 90% punctuality overall.

But this got me to look up the UK statistics - when I was growing up it was always a stereotype that UK trains sucked and German trains were great. Today, the three minute punctuality of UK trains is 85%, and the 15 minute punctuality is 98%. From that we could subtract cancellations, which are at around 3-4%.

DB breaks it out by regional and long-distance trains though (long-distance is much worse, less than 70% on these reports)

Ah, the Ryanair approach. But unreliable arrival times are annoying for passengers and a drain. Sure, build in a small amount of slack, but a functioning train system should be able to get to 90% punctuality without adding 15 minutes of slack everywhere.

Having been on a delayed German train, my connection actually waited so that everyone on my train connecting to it could catch it...

This is an important step for mechaphiles with mpreg fetishes.

Never noticed before how nice the butt on the next human battery is...
