the state of transport is so sad sometimes.
dortmund-budapest plane costs 130 eur with 20kg bag, takes 3hr for the whole trip with security and waiting for the luggage

dortmund-budapest train doesnโ€™t exists, but you can get there in 230 eur and 14hr with 4 transfers. if youโ€™re lucky. even though it could be 1 transfer through warsaw

why germany

@byte mmmmh I'm pretty sure you could easily go down to 1 change, 2 max

And less travel time

@rail there are 1 transfer rides through berlin, but still expensive and even more - 16hr
there are 2 transfers options that should take 13hr, but in practice will take same 15-16hr cause DB will never make that 15min connection. also costs 180+ eur

@byte these prices happen when you want to travel like, the next day

Which indeed will give you stupid prices

But a week or two in advance and you go down to sub 100 euro

@byte it's literally so not worth it

Also bestie you can't complain about prices if you want a privileged ride, like, it's incompatible

Or at least say that you're talking about the overpriced class because otherwise it's arguing about a price of something completely different

@rail it's not that big of a difference, 1st class with 1 change through berlin is +10-15 eur. those 3 changes rides are +20-25

@byte @rail i have no idea how youโ€™re finding these but the most sensible connection in 1 week returned by DB has a +40 difference, and so does pretty much every other one

@ptrc @rail e.g ICE 641 -> EN 40457 through berlin. but again, 10 min transfer is unreal and will never happen

@lina @byte @ptrc if it's not your fault that you missed the connection, yes

Hack if you missed the last train of the day and can't make it, DB will pay for your hotel or a taxi
