Bus doesn’t come, there’s no train? No reason to complain. The guests at the European Championships have to learn that waiting is a particularly nice part of the fan experience.

This is an experimental tool. The results may be incomplete, out of date or even wrong.
Despite good preparation for possible rail problems during the European Championship, the German hosts are having problems with overcrowded train stations and carriages. Fans report waiting for hours for trams and subways after the games. Deutsche Bahn has not been the focus of the problems so far, but has already spoiled the European Championship experience for some fans. To ease the frustration with public transport, waiting should be seen as part of the fan experience. Germany relies on feeling and proximity, while efficiency and reliability are outsourced to other countries. In week two of the European Championship, it is recommended to extend the celebrations together with fans from all over Europe and not miss the best.

Man, we were so well prepared as the host country. We had warned the continent about the pitfalls of Deutsche Bahn. We had written instructions, given out tips and revealed tricks. A colleague from the British Guardian We had already softened him up so much with our train propaganda that he seriously stated in his tournament preview under the heading “What I am most looking forward to”: Travelling by train for the entire tournament!
So actually everything was ready. And yet – the European Championship is only five days old – we now have pictures of overcrowded train stations and carriages. Because in our focus on a possible complete collapse of the railways, we unfortunately forgot what is racing across or under the streets right outside our front doors: the trams, the buses, the subways.
