    A quick Polish train rides tip. If you see a big crowd of beefed up football fans follow these steps
    1- Identify what club they're from
    2-do not yell insults at them (you're dooming the entire train)
    3-Predend to be the fan of their chosen club
    4-If they board another train make sure this train is going away when you decide to say "Legia to chuje" out loud (It's ok to say this if you insult a club that they doesn't like too)
    5-under no circumstances go to the back when you expect them to board your train
    6-if you sit in "Warsa" the dining car of that train you can go scot free without a ticket just keep buying beer and you're good
    7-if there's any children in your wagon cheange it immediately
    8-if a streanger in your car has any kind of illegal or alcoholic substances accept them if offered (if you reject It's a greeving insult)
    8-If you feel the train shaking violently stay calm and blame it on guys sitting in the back
    9-the train is late? Just start complaining like you were griding for an acheavement and you'll get extra points from locals before you even start your ride (bonus points if you drink beer while waiting and complaining)
    10-NEVER insult the ticket guy or conductor (they have all the power and you may end up as unfortunate case of suicide

    The hallmarks of travelling on British Trains:
    1. The group of underage kids drinking Strongbow Darkfruit
    2. The Roadmen avoiding the ticket man by constantly going up and down the train/pretending to fall asleep when being asked for a ticket
    3. The gaggle of girls screaming and laughing in the back of the carriage
    4. The geezer behind you downing 5 pints of Guinness a second and making the surrounding area reek of beer
    5. The wine mum with her two friends that have covered a tabled seat with bottles Gordon's Gin/Wine bottles and are clearly hammered
    6. The dude that just came out of the 1 carriage on the train with a toilet (if you are lucky) that stinks like shit as that is literally what he has just done in there
    7. The University students that have just come back from Spoons and are making a scene about "not having time to buy a ticket" when asked for one by the guard
    8. The dude in the back throwing up as he has drunk way to much (it's a Tuesday evening)
    9. Your train is delayed
    10. The train company you are going to get a train through is striking
    11. Your train is cancelled
    12. All of the last 3 above on the same day
    13. Getting on a train that was built 40 years ago in the 1980's being the latest model of train that the company has
    14. Said train has broken heaters in the winter, no a/c in the summer, making for an unbearable experience for the majority of the winter and mainly summer
    15. You will only be getting new train models if you live in the vicinity/or in London, else have fun with the 40 year old train that feels and sounds like they will give out soon
    And they want you to pay ridiculous prices for ludicrously short distances with the above service as a commonality. I've seen it with my own eyes people happily tapping away £50+ with their card buying tickets just to get a return to London when it is only roughly 12 miles away. Incredible.

    The Swiss train prices shown at 24:45 are only valid if you have a 50% off card, which costs 190 CHF. So "normal" (i.e. tourist) prices are double what's shown there (which IMO is also quite misleading since you only find out once you try to buy a ticket). On top of that, they are discount prices which you only get if you book in advance. If you book a train from Zürich to Geneva for the same day, at the full rate, it's more like 90 CHF. So yeah, Swiss trains are very expensive (but indeed so is everything in Switzerland).
    One thing I like about the Dutch train network is that it has fixed prices, so you don't have to book in advance (since it's always the same price anyway). And, you can check in and out with your bank card or phone now! So it feels kind like an oversize metro system :)

      Well, yes and no. As a tourist it is quite cheap to get a Swiss travel pass which includes also the panoramic trains with only seat reservations left as additional fees (you don't need to reserve a seat in most trains in Switzerland though). If you are younger than 25 you can get 4 consecutive days for 209 CHF which includes the 50% off card for mountain rides which I think is a very good price if you have not so much time to explore. If you have more time, the flexible pass is even better. But in general you are right. You need to plan ahead, otherwise you have to sell a kidney.

    6:46 As someone from Munich, or rather Germany as a whole, we all basically just use the 49€ ticket at this point. So you pay 49€ a month and then the ticket works for all public transport on a regional level in the entirety of Germany.
    And I agree the zones suck ass. I live on the outskirts of Munich and thank fuck they moved the zones a few years back because before that my village was directly on a zone change, which meant that we had to pay like 5 - 10 € more just for living 5 meters from the next zone.

      Once I go live on my own it depends. I do would like to stay in Munich but I might go to another city or abroad to study, I'll see what'll come, still got two to three years until then anyway.

You do not have to go to a ticket boot, you buy it from the machine, also, you can purchase a 24 hour ticket which is valid fall all public transport inside of Budapest, and you only have to validate it once.
    The system itself is outdated, but the public transport is pretty good and reliable. They even made it cheaper recently.
    Hope this helps, btw all of this info is also valid for trains.

    A serious comment because we in Germany don't laugh. The reason for European buses and trains usually avoid or at least discourage paying on board is because it's causing delays. Credit card/Google Wallet/Apple Pay payments are slow as hell. Imagine 20 people boarding and waiting for each other (together with the bus) on pretty much all central stops in cities like Berlin and it will quickly start to make sense.
    Instead, just buy your ticket in advance with an easy to use app or buy a daily ticket and enjoy the amazing system for the whole day.
    But we also have the Deutschland Ticket that allows to enjoy the public transportation system including regional trains IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY for one month for just 49 EUR. And this is also available to tourists. Pretty much anyone can buy this ticket and enjoy constant delays of Deutsche Bahn accross the whole country. It's the best ticket in the world, seriously.

      Credit card/Google Wallet/Apple Pay payment on my country's subway/metro & public buses run by our main public transport operators are fast (~1s per transaction), probably because they use card readers customised to the needs of public transport (the previous-gen ones were made by Motorola I think but I forget the current-gen ones are made by who) that use contactless technology that's faster, probably similar to Sony's FeLiCa standard. However there're some buses run by private coach operators that, while accepting the same payment methods, don't use such customised card readers, but instead use the same credit & debit card terminals as merchants elsewhere, & oh boy it takes ~7s to complete each passenger's transaction; 7x longer! The most I've seen is ~100 people board a bus from a single bus stop, so that'd take ~100 x 7 = 700s = 11min 10min to board everyone!

    Come to munich bro, the zones look bad, I know, but basically nobody gives a shit about them anyways. My recomendation would be you buy either the 49€-Ticket, which basically gives you acess to ALL public transport in Germany except high-speed trains. It lasts for a month and includes even some border-crossing conections like to Salzburg. Your other option would be the Bayern-Ticket which basically does the same as the 49€-Ticket, but you can buy it for groups instead of one person, it only lasts one day and you can only use it in Bavaria (+some conections outside Bavaria).

      When my country (Singapore) withdrew all public late-night buses in mid-2022 some of us also suspected it's because the gov't wanted to give taxi companies more business (while private-hire drivers would benefit less as less of them in general are awake at late nights). As for the airport, taxi drivers are known to be reluctant to pick up passengers there before 1700h on weekdays, as that's the time the airport surcharge increases from S$3 to S$5 (~€2 to €3.40). However limousines from the airport (often using MB E220 CDI) switched from charging a S$50 flat fee to a distance-based fare system (with a ~S$16 starting fee), which turned out cheaper for most passengers, though that also reduced drivers' revenue & made them unhappy. Then before late-2011, people were also complaining about taxi drivers being reluctant to pick up people during surcharge-free time periods between late-night periods & peak hours (when there's a 50% & 35% surcharge respectively), so the taxi companies 'solved' that by extending peak-hour surcharges into these hitherto surcharge-free periods too (though it was reduced from 35% to 25%, but some companies surcharge on weekends too!)

    UK trains aren't that fucked, prices are awful (you need a railcard if you're travelling here to make it remotely sensible) and you need to buy advance fares or off peaks wherever possible, anytime day tickets (and returns) are a complete scam. In the case of delays or cancellations over 15 minutes you can get partial or total refunds through a system called "Delay Repay", this also works for contactless/oyster tickets in the London fare zone. In exceptional cases rail providers can be expected to provide you onward travel via taxi, this can include intercity services but may differ based on your individual circumstances. Generally GWR are complete and utter shite, they often sell 8-10 carriages worth of tickets for a half length train.

    As a Swede I thought we had the worst public transportation in Europe (The media likes to make it look like that), then I went to the UK and now I think I live in Japan or something cause Swedish public transportation is defenitely years ahead of the UK...
    Anyways the trains have had problems with punctuality and some regional trains are not that fun to travel with, some cause they're old but some trains are new and still very uncomfortable to ride onboard (Cough Cough, Mälartåg)...
    Still a lot of problems can mainly be blamed on politicians either prioritizing lowering taxes (Estonia have lower taxes than Sweden btw) or planning extremely controversial high speed rail lines (except for the planned line Stockholm-Linköping cause that one is going to be the only one getting buildt after political turmoil. But that line atleast have stations in every municipality that the line passes through unlike the lines passing through Ulricehamn and Ljungby municipalities. In some cases, towns would get worse rail service than today as interregional express trains would get moved over to a high speed line that wouldn't even have a station in that town, basically removing the only express train calling there (cough cough Eslöv cough cough Höör) and then only running milkbench trains and freight trains taking all the time slots of the express trains. Anyways Estonia is better at building high speed rail than Sweden, talking about rail baltica) instead of actually spending money on maintaining the system we have today. And when the system collapses, the politicians will say something about them "being naive" and then do some big project fixing all the rail lines to make it look like the problem gets fixed without solving the underlying issue, mainly not spending money maintaining the system...
    Anyways Swedish buses are world class, and so is the Stockholm Metro. The worst that happens with buses are driver shortages (not really a problem outside the two largest cities though) and potholes in the roads (and that's once again the governments fault for not maintaining roads enough)...

The main problem is basically that if you don't want to use the app (I don't want to get stranded cause my battery ran out and I forgot to bring a powerbank) it can be complicated. In Stockholm you can just use a contactless card just like Talinn and Poland. In Malmö you can only use that on the green buses, if you want to take the yellow suburban buses you either need an app ticket or need to have a plastick card already loaded with a ticket. As a local that isn't very hard as I have a 30-day ticket on my plastic card but you cant pay with contactless right now (I think they said something about introducing that in the future though...
      They also removed the option to buy tickets from the driver in January this year. Which makes it impossible to buy tickets if you don't have internet connection or a train station in your town (cause then you have a ticket machine)...

    In Ukraine we have this awesome system where train network is both nationalised and privatised. And we get worst from both systems lmao
    How it works is the one giant railway company called Ukrailway(yeah big brain) focuses on moving goods and coal and grain and whatever and gets paid by the companies that want to move that stuff.
    But the Ukrainian government subsidies the human transportation (cause apparently it’s not profitable and they would’ve scrapped it if it was up to them) from our taxes, and then we pay for tickets like around 800 hrn (20$).
    So again: 1. government pays this company from our taxes,
    2. then we pay for tickets. And both of these go to cover apparently “unprofitable” human transportation.
    3. And then the company pockets billions they get from moving goods. And that money goes towards z-wagons for upper management.
    You know, people say we are fascists and Nazis and whatnot. Which we are not. But if there were some kind of a fascist military government that would hang all these top managers and nationalise railways I’d fucking vote for them lmao.

    The state rail company PKP, Polskie Koleje Państwowe is read by Poles as: Poczekaj, Kiedyś Przyjedzie - Wait, it'll Arrive Eventually. It's getting better nowadays, especially considering railway and station renovation programs, but still, there's a long way to go. The rail system in Poland was practically wiped out from the mid 80's to mid 00's, and if you still live in a city smaller than 50 000 inhabitants? Tough luck, wait for a coach (if there is any). Recently they've reintroduced trains to Ostrołęka (48 000 souls) in north-east, and it was sad to see that people were so full of joy to witness a passenger train on their main station after nearly 25 years.

    The best type of fare system I've ever experienced by far is incremental price increase by station. It's so easy to understand, just put money on your card like a debit card and it charges you when you get off. If you want to load a specific amount, just look at a map in every station which shows you the price to get to every other station on the network. This is what they use in a lot of Asian cities and its great, it also lets the Transit agency charge you for what you actually use; something which zone systems and flat systems don't

    I want to also mention Austria, if you want to book a train of similar length to what you described, for example from Salzburg to Vienna, the cheapest price is 20 euros. I understand that Poland is still cheaper, sure, but comparatively to the standard of living in Poland VS Austria, I believe Austria might even be better. Assuming that the ticket prices for all trains/km range, is around this 30-40% increase, then you'd assume that the minimum wage from Poland to Austria would also increase by 30-40%? In reality, the minimum wage in Poland is around 700 euros, whilst in Austria is 2x, 1500 euros. The idea is, you get an amazingly cheap ticket for the wage that you get. And also, if you consider the shitty delays with DB, OBB is usually quite on time (Doing a little bit of research, OBB claim they have a punctuality rate of 95%), following from that, their trains are super frequent as well, to travel from major cities you essentially have a train every 20/30 min or so, which in a sense kind of enables many people to literally work in Graz from Linz, since the trains are super fast and frequent. The inter-country trains are also quite frequent, trainlines coming from Germany and Czech etc etc. Furthermore, also like in Poland, the trains are also produced in Austria, in Vienna to be specific, and are extremely new and are also electric. I'm not sure if Poland has this, but there is also the option of taking any train you like ( through the Klimaticket, which students have a discount that ends up being around 70 eur per month ) to take any train that goes through Austria, as frequently as you like.
    If we're talking about public transport within the cities, the same as in Poland still stands, every major city in Austria (Linz, Graz, Vienna, St Polten etc etc etc, quite a lot ) has an amazing public transport system with bus lines and trams all the time, the trams are extremely common and essentially come every 5 minutes in rush hour which makes the amount of armpit smell you have to en-dour limited to an all time low ( if you come from eastern Europe, or at least from a part of eastern Europe with *some* public transport ).
    One thing which is missing is a metro system outside of Vienna, this sounds like a big deal at first, but most of the other cities aren't big enough to benefit so much from a metro system so it's not that big of a deal. Another thing is, the metro system in Vienna is quite old and I wish it will get renewed in the next few years ( although it's still electric of course ) or maybe not, I guess if it ain't broke you don't need to fix it.
