Trying to move to escape America's car-centric hell. The Netherlands is pretty high on the list but I wanted to explore other options. How do the following countries and their cities fair in terms of urbanism:

-Ireland

-Spain

-Belgium

-France

-Denmark

-Portugal

-Sweden

I could list more but I'll be here all night.

a g quick Google says they are within a 6 minute window 90% of the time.

It's currently more in the realms of 62%. In june, it was 52%.

That the arrival times were more guesswork was a direct quote by a Bahn boardmember.

It might not be as bad as the US, but it's still worse than most of Europe.

Yeah. Super impressive considering the track changes with Denmark, France, Switzerland, and Poland (what about Austria? I don't remember changing tracks). I've had delays of 45 mins on 30 minute NYC subway commutes and Sweden's trains stop running in the winter because they didn't bother to get the kind that work in snow.

You can keep arguing, but you're not gonna convince me DB is bad which is where this discussion started.

It's severely underfunded. A DB board member is publicly on record, agreeing with me.
