    They gotta finance their infrastructure somehow.

    Oh, right. They’re incentivized to not do exactly that. So they can cry to the government for even more funds.

      Even more obscene is that they used to have a monopoly by law until sometime in the mid-2000s. No other corporation was allowed to compete with Deutsche Bahn, a remnant of Hitler’s agenda to strengthen governmental grip on public transport.

      And still they managed to have deficits in every financial quarter.
