And I can assure you that the trains are much much better than in other parts of the world (eg: India). In India, trains running on time are an exception, not the rule. At least all the German trains that I've been on were on time to the very minute.

I take the train in a big German city every day. If my train were to arrive on time one day, I would share that information with all my friends as something more than exceptional. This never happens. I can't wait till i've saved enough to buy a car and stop using the trains and subway.

In Cologne, I have never seen light rail arrive on time, and I've used it daily for two years.
