Very cool, but my first thought is how do you keep poor people from using it though? I don’t know if I would want something nice like that if somebody poorer than me could also use it.
That’s the fun part: We don’t allow people to use them for free and we build beneches on which you can’t lay at the spots where the vehicles stop. So you’re safe when it comes to homeless. How great, isn’t it?
At least before the Deutschlandticket (Germanyticket) that allows travel with “short distance” trains the price still was too steep for very poor people to get monthly or yearly tickets (i am not talking about people with jobs) and they walked/biked (some that still want to save money refuse to buy the Deutschlandticket too). Or the infrastucture in rural areas is bad (especially where the AfD/Nazis are strong)
inside of course (thats an older train in berlin, the last few could still be in use)

Great to know not everything about this is so foreign to my country :)
punches self in face
Why are they so foreign to your country, though? Poor people who use them but can’t afford a ticket frequently get jailed.

What sort of bullshit first class train is this? Where’s all the sadness? Why is it so white?
It has big windows so you can find the sadness outside. Mostly works when the train is underground
