As an italian i agree, but when you see the ticket man you are fucked

Being a student in Poland and getting 51% discount on that train/public transport price and have a licence to get STUDENT EXCLUSIVE alcohol discounts if you know where to look. State sponsored alcoholism going strong!

This guy is like "wow polish transport is so good and the trains are always on time"

for your knowledge
polish trains are either 1 minute early or 50 < minutes late
there is nothing in between
As a person living in Germany, I would recommend Polish people a new term: calling a person DeutscheBahn if the person is not only always late but also flakes on everyone around half of the time 😅
Croatia, too. Same insulting too.
Still we got hella good public transport
Mate in portugal we have almost no trains, been in poland once and loved the public transport experience
Every single damn time we moan and complain on the internet about our trains, there is a bunch of other Europeans telling us we have no idea how good we have it and hoooooly that's confusing AF.
Foreigners: Polish trains are on time, the public transport system is functional.
Poles: The trains are never on time, inter-city bus transport doesn't exist, transport social exclusion.

I am Croatian. What ever people might say about our railways system (that it is slow as fuck) I genuinely enjoy riding the train for 2 or more hours.

I also like trains in that way.

@@frisianmouve You should like your own comment because that was funny.
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

It's rarer in the UK for a train journey to go right than for it to go wrong. I was stuck in fucking stowmarket for an hour due to delays just recently.
I was lucky to do an extensive Eurail journey across the UK back in 1996 when it was still British Rail and you could rely on that huge printed timetable of all service in the land.

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.
Don’t even get me started on Wales, you can’t get a train that goes South to North without passing through England for 80% of the journey.
Dumbass buses that stop at 7pm in the valleys and only cycle infrastructure in the country’s capital (Cardiff).
And how does a city like Cardiff with 500k people get so congested with cars?
Re 15 - there have been newer trains introduced in other parts of the country, in west Yorkshire for example we got newer trains 8-9 years ago or so and they're good. '80s vintage super sprinters or whatever are still not exactly eliminated though
May I add another, trains cancelled to London reschedule someone jumped that same train went though the station we were in with blood staining-front 2-3 hour delay , I love the UK :)
@@crazyhawk5056 it is straight up quicker to get to London from South Wales than it is to get up North Wales. Like wtf!?
I almost passed out once on an English train because it was crammed like a sardine can on the commute into London; ironically I could get another train slightly later and slightly nicer to a different London station within reasonable walking distance of my final destination that was nearly empty so that's what I switched to and it was a much better experience 😅😂
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.

Damn what a crossover, I'm also from Birmingham but went to Georgia on holiday last summer. There's nothing like getting on a Marshrutka across half the country with no seatbelts and a cracked windshield for £5 but honestly I had an awesome time in Georgia, everyone was so lovely, the food was incredible, there was so much to do, and the scenery was fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone.
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.
Also the maps do make sense once you understand them I promise, truly sorry though that we put you through that.
How do you afford rent in Munich these days? Are you a human trafficer or drug dealer?
@@young_diogenes I still go to school and live with my parents who bought a house outside of the city about a decade ago when prices in the villages surrounding Munich were still manageable. (They still are rather reasonable depending on the village and how far it is from Munich, etc. Though reasonable in the Bavarian sense ofc.).
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.
If I stay in Munich then there are a few options. People that grew up here or near Munich may know someone that could get them a place for a somewhat reasonable price.
(That's the option I'll probably try)
Otherwise - if you don't have financial aid from family - the only real option is to get a student apartment or a room in a WG preferably outside of Munich.
The prices there are way more humane.
If you want one directly in Munich you either have to be extremely lucky, extremely rich or join a fraternity and hope to get a place through them.
Or move to Hasenbergl.

As a hungarian living outside of Budapest, whenever I have to travel to the capital, I usually either buy my public transport tickets online, in the BudapestGO app, or use the vending machines. 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.
UI: I traveled a lot in Romania as well (I was born there) and I can tell you only bug cities have a card system.(Cluj, Timisora, Maramures, etc) In most provincial town and cities you still have to buy physical tickets and validate them, just like in Hungary.
Sounds like you should get the Hungary pass, equivalent of the D-Ticket.

What parts of Portugal is it free for students? In Leiria the bus is 9,10€ per month and other public transports don't exist
@@fufuthestickycat Apparently it only covers the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, my bad
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.
what are you talking about? Even in my third world city Berlin we can pay by cellphone by holding it to the payment thing next to the driver. Goes super easy and quick
What is slow as hell? Since they introduced OVPay in NL I’ve been using that over my chipkaart. It’s faster for me to slap my phone against the reader than it is to fiddle with my wallet to get the card out and tap it.
Why not card tapping like your old friends the japanese?
Deutschlandticket is nice, but the Hungarian Country Pass for 5 dollars is the real goat (well 5 dollars for students at least)
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).
by zones u mean the public transport or neighborhoods
@@Czepialska public transport
the same crappy thing about zones is here in spain too, ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE goes in Rodalies (local public transport in my area) WITHOUT PAYING SHIT because who can afford to pay the mfckng revisor a 40 € ticket or more just to go from Barcelona to Lleida
5:56 the taxi mafia applies to Italy too btw. tho in Italy you can pay with card in the bus in some places
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!)
By the way, Poland has lost nearly 50% of its railway lines (from ~38000km to ~19000) due to poor management in 90s and 00s. We were the second country after the great britain which suffered from this.
At least you guys have trains since the collapse of communism. Albania is in much worse shape, and its railways? Hardly exists any more.
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.
And make sure to avoid CrossCountry at all times. Expensive as hell and often shortforming trains as 4 or 5 coaches on long-distance travel.
The only good trains in the UK are in London. Everywhere else riddled with delays. Business trips, going to and from university etc is a bank breaker. It's the same price as utility bills!
@@nicholassimeon2279”everywhere else is riddled with delays” meanwhile, thameslink when there’s a Y in the day;
I'm British but most of my recent time has been spent in Germany. Having constantly delayed trains is a pain, especially when having to catch multiple one after another as I typically do. But slow trains even with constant stops wouldn't otherwise bother me; I just love getting to sit down and watch the landscapes go by (when I'm not low on money, I travel about for the hell of it)
also the db ticket 👍
imagine having to use public transport when you can just ride a bike everywhere instead (totally non-biased Dutch opinion)
Still better than cars and driving
But you are deliberately not talking about how NS since covid is slowly becoming a shithole like fuckin DB with their delays, cancellations and overcrowding. I know you can bike to work or something, but fuck that when it pours 24/7 for like 5 months in the cold season (won't even call it winter coz it is fuckin not winter, it is just grey, cold, windy, rainy shit lasting for at least 5 months in the year). But yeah, biking is nice. Especially when you get passed by a fat bike doing a 50+ in the bike lane xd
a very sensible solution you can also ride a horse or walk and pretend its 1800
In Poland when something goes wrong with the train they send a bus to pick you up and get to your destination instead. Also, they have special carts for bicycles, which is awesome af
Man i love PKP intercity i lived in Wroclaw for 7 months, i came back many times in 2 years and every time is such a pleasure to take the train to travel around cities
Me as an african seeing Europeans and Americans moan about public transport while over here we drive on what's left of the road😄
I live in Vienna and man, it does make such a difference to have reliable public transport with no zones. By a one day ticket and travel every where within the city with everything thats state owned
I'm from a middle-size city in France and we have recently unlocked the glorious technology of scanning your card to get a ticket. But I guess Paris is still in the middle ages so I guess it will take them 10 to 20 years to do the same. Again, proof that provincial France is 2000% better than the Capital city.
Thank you Gattsu for mentioning The train system in Switzerland. A lot of people here have no clue how great our railways are. That’s a huge privilege that people take for granted. I hope you come here to vist🇨🇭🇬🇪
As a polish tram enthusiast i'm glad you enjoyed our public transport :)
Greetings from Poznań, and by the way, some cities have tourist lines on some times, where older trams and buses drive.
As someone from Luxembourg, i will never stop flexing to people about how public transport is literally free for anyone here
At this point we should just make a petition for Gattsu to get Polish citizenship with this much glazing going on.
In my city in Ukraine, bus/trolleybus travel is free for children, pensioners, veterans, disabled people and victims of Chernobyl. And super cheap(10uah=0.24eur) for others. And you can also buy a cheap(45uah=~1 euro per 5 years) Galka card, which reduces the price of bus/trolleybus travel by almost half.
Victims of Chernobyl? That's a new one I have not heard!
soon to be russian....say ''in my city in russia''
I know you likely won't see this, but keep going man. I've been watching your content for a while now and just subbed; we need more people like you in the world who are able to convey their opinions in a hilarious yet informative manner. Love the work, keep doing you!
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)...
SJ however is incredibly expensive and makes you want to cry.
Your buses are amazing. The fact that I can just buy a ticket on my phone back home at 2 AM in Malmo after partying in a club and going to a closest open falafel stand is fantastic. You're heavily ahead of Kaunas, where paying virtually is still a little cumbersome, and traveling outside the city is substantially more limited, in comparison to having access to entirety of Skane region + Copenhagen if you count train tickets that are also available on the same phone app.
@@constipatedwonka8061 How much do tickets cost in Malmö? When I was in Stockholm they were pretty expensive, like 45 SEK for a 75 minute ride (3€) and 1000 SEK for a monthly pass (€90). Is it cheaper there?
@@EricT01 I have a student discount which influences the prices
24 h - 62 sek for adults and *47 sek for students
30 days - 624 sek for adults and 468 for students
Yeah I guess it is cheaper in Skane region.
@@constipatedwonka8061 yeah buying your ticket in the app is very convenient in Sweden. 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)...
shout out to Spain for having the 2nd biggest high-speed railway network in the world and its still growing!

🇪🇪 🤝 🇱🇺 : having free public transport
Honestly fuck the public transport in munich i grew up there and they raise the price of the tickets like every year now it costs like 15€ for a day ticket FOR A PUBLIC TRANSPORT THAT DOESNT EVEN WORK PROPERLY
Subscribed! We need more reviewing like this
Okay UK Train nerd here and having alot of European and Baltic friends your videos turned up and honestly including your politics i love it, also hearing insults in Georgian is like peak. new sub for you
As a Latvian in Latvia you don't need to pay, you can get a "E-karte" and you can use it for like 10 years or less, or buy a temporary one for 3 uses or smth (I only had it once), I am not sure if you have to pay if you don't have the "E-karte" tho lol (This was to clear up some stuff, if you have anything else, I can answer)
But Gattsu if America builds public transport then Ford and Chevrolet will go bankrupt for the 10th time 😢
You laid out the UK's public transport perfectly (though London is completely different). And they have the cheek to STRIKE EVERY 5 MINUTES. More than doctors and nurses.
All hail flixbus: I went from Amsterdam to London for £36
english resident here!
• the trains are crap and put you in debt;
• the buses are fine but they stop rather early;
• im scared of all other public transport after the trains.
all in all, 4/10. atleast the buses are ok (in my area).
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.
babe new gattsu video
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. XXI century.
wait how did the dude see 7 san marino flags in Latvia, 74% of San Marino population cant have been there at the same time
18:15 i really want to know how the flag of FUCKING SAN MARINO figured 7x in RIGA, LATVIA
That is the flag of Rīga but they look basically the same
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
Didn't know where else to write this, stay strong Gattsu, fight for your freedom. Greetings from Latvia and Israel.
Gatssu: need to shiyite on the UK
Geopold (your boy): here's one i made earlier
As a texan...I wish we had public transport to begin with...
As an austinite, I love how austin has said they are planning a train system to go from Austin to dallas for about 8 years now.
Austria and Sweden have pretty good public transport aswell
Fact about Riga Kids up to 7 years old ride for free, and students get a special card that allows them to ride for free. The card is until you finish school and University.
There's free* public transport for students in 🇳🇱!
*(if you graduate within 10 years)
bruh do you have to pay it back if you dont graduate or what?
Yeah, how is that caveat enforced?
@@ThePurplePassage You buy a public transit subscription on a loan from the government. Then, if you graduate, the loan turns into a gift
@@AnonymousMaykr I imagine that probably helps incentivise more students to complete their course.
(although since graduates are likely to get better incomes, it would perversely mean that students who fail would end up with more debt)
Thanks for the video and support from Armenia 🇦🇲🇪🇺🇬🇪
Connections between cities outside of London and Paris are terrible 💀, probably because they were historically so centralized
One time the bus of my sister literally drived through the bus stop and when they went to complain,they got basically got told to fuck themselves and gaslit that nothing happened💀💀
I live in Belgium, we have decent public transport. Not the worst not the best. We sadly took a few steps backwards because our government under the term “reform” cut a lot of bus routes in the dutch part of Belgium. I hate them for it, they genuinely pretended as if it was in our best interest. Only to have people be forced to take the car to school because the new bus route takes 2 hours instead of 20 minutes.
Trust me, it's worse with le TEC in Wallonie. Scummy idiots calling some routes "express" to charge 5 euros for your trip and charge period tickets more. At least De Lijn doesn't do that. They did indeed create the most memorable adverts :)
I have never heard of the reform cut to De Lijn, I did hear they revamped their network, whether it's better for some or worst for some.
@@enthusiastisch1922 yeah they revamped the network so that there would be a few more stops in densely populated areas. They removed way more stops in less densely populated areas tho. Every region now has less stops than it did before the revamp. So it was basically a cost cutting measure disguised as a revamp
Is there an Adam Something cameo somewhere in the vid?
That would be good XDD
Ew, he turned out to be a weirdo.

As a Wakandan, I can confirm we have easily the best public transit that exists. Can't speak for Poland, but places like Helsinki, Amsterdam or Berlin(which are all great in ther own right) just don't match getting the green card for literal pocket money and riding the buses, trams and trolleybuses FOR FREE FOREVER
Slovenian buss drivers hate people bruh. It was 8pm in january and i only had a hoodie and was waiting for a bus for 40 minutes when it comes every “15-20 min” ok i can wait but when the buss finally arrived he slightly slowed down looked at me and drove off! There was no one on it! I had to walk an hour while it was snowing and My balls are still unthawing! plus the busses in ljubljana are never on time. Also georgian sounds like that language the bug people speak in district 9
Seoul and Tokyo might have busy days, but the public transport is on time 24/7. As a westerner going to those cities in Asia inspires and demoralize you at the same time.
As a North American? Yes.
As a European? Nah. (Unless you overvalue Japan)
Singaporean transport is pretty efficient too.
American W 🇺🇸
Europeans will never comprehend American infrastructure B)
uk the train is either early, on a stike day, cancelled or the coveted experience known as "early" i remember when it first happened when we pulled into Waterloo 2 minutes early, twas many seasons ago and a much cherished memory lord bless the class 158/9
Hungary: I have to add that while in-town or city buses do not have bankcard options, longer bus rides do by now. Also each station have ticket machines where you can buy tickets or you have "Simple" for your phone, or for Budapest "Budapest GO" (GO speaks English too) where also bankcard is accepted. So while it is true what you said, you have options.
Yeah it's really not that complicated. I think he was just playing it up for the video.

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.
I'm from New Zealand, and the problems with the UK public transport are the same for us, there have been multiple occasions where the train company just cancels train services when major events are happening. It's all privatized.
More cities also use zones, like London
