Well, we already had travel chaos before the "heavy" snow.
I'm not kidding, that amount of "chaos" we used to have during snow is now the amount of chaos we have all year long and the chaos caused by snow is now additional.
Funfact: Our most backwards shitty bavarian party, CSU, held the ministry of transportation since 2009. Since 2021, it's our most libertarian shitty party, FDP. Guess who gets funded the most by car companies in all of europe? Yes, these parties.
The saying "Die Deutsche Bahn hat 4 Feinde - Frühling, Sommer, Herbst und Winter" (transl: "The German railway has 4 enemies - spring, summer, autumn and winter") is fitting once again. Before the infrastructure was cut back, the motto was: "Alle reden vom Wetter - wir nicht" ("everyone is talking about the weather - we're not"): https://yewtu.be/watch?v=wvJAAzfK3Rk
The German railway has 4 enemies: Audi, BWM, Mercedes, VW
