A total of 81.8 percent of all long distance and regional trains through Germany's Deutsche Bahn arrived at their destination on time in 2020, the highest number in 15 years.Put another way, are the timetables compiled unrealistically, with passengers expected to hop aboard quickly?
The year before the rate stood at 75.9 percent. Deutsche Bahn considers a train to be on time if it arrives less than six minutes after the scheduled time.
The company reported particularly high punctuality in regional transport, with 95.6 percent of all DB Regio trains reaching their stations on schedule.
According to DB, about half of the increase in punctuality was due to the restrictions caused by the pandemic.

IS THIS NOT UNDERACHIEVEMENT?
Somewhere, the veterans of Baltimore and Ohio or The Milwaukee Road are chuckling.
