The European Championships have just been scattered. This year's host country Germany is a traditional power brigade, but pedestrians stop at the quarterfinals and lose to this champion Spain.The German team in the stadium exit, but Germany outside the court, as the host country, is still paying attention to it under the light. Unfortunately, it is ugly.This time the ugly is the famous Deutsche Bahn.
The people of the European Championships have defeated the bearing capacity of Germany. Many teams were deeply harmed because of the wrong point of Germany and the cancellation of the shuttle bus.The Germans are familiar with the German Railway, so they rushed out of the world and forced the German government to avoid it.The Minister of Transport, Victoria, couldn't help but hit the headquarters, criticizing the poor performance of Germany, and believed that it did not meet the expectations of fans and did not meet the rigorous German tradition.
As the Minister of Transport, Victoria, despite criticizing Germany, cannot be purely a bureau outsiders and is out of the case.Therefore, he also made two pain points for Germany, and one was that the European Championship brought an additional 10,000 seats every day for the European Championships; the other was affected by the recent heavy rain weather.
Obviously, the two reasons are not reasonable. One is that there are more than 10,000 seats per day, which should be the range of tolerance of the railway system; the number of tourists in the summer vacation is increasing each year, and the impact on the railway system is no less than that of the European Cup.Stream.As for the second point, Germany really occurred in the south, and Batobu and Bavaria were flooded in early June. In some areas, there were even a hundred years of floods.However, there are only two stadiums used in the European Championships this time in the above two states, and the remaining eight are all in the north. During the northern German Germany, there are also heavy rains.Can't say it.
During the European Championships, Germany accidentally became the protagonist affecting the event, such as in the quarterfinals and the Netherlands played in England.The Dutch team went to Dortmund from Wolf Fort in Sakson to Dortmund in North Viagra. It was not threatened by floods.In the end, it was too late to attend a press conference before the game, and there was a training opportunity to adapt to the venue.
Before the game, the fans knew the terrible point of Deutie.Before the beginning of the European Championships, the fan liaison officer of the Scottish Fans Association had called for "the train must be rushed to the earlier group" to reserve the elasticity of German delays or the cancellation of the shuttle, so as not to see the game.
During the European Championships, multiple teams are also affected by German Railway. For example, Belgian team arrived in Cologne 10 minutes late for railway reasons.The European Championships not only failed to show the soft power of Germany, but in turn exposed the problem of disrepair in infrastructure led by Germany.The New York Times The authoritative sports media The Athletic published an article in mid -June, criticizing the European Championships and Germany efficiency: forget everything you think you know (Euro 2024 and German Efficience: Forget Everything You Knew).The article mentioned problems such as traffic jams and stations that appeared many times during the European Championships. During the European Championships, the efficiency of Germany broke the rigorous, time -definition and efficient imagination of the Germans.
The German iron problem is frozen for three feet, not a day's cold.In 2006, the German Railway Reform was regarded as the watershed of Germany's direct decline in efficiency, but in recent years, problems have burst into concentrated outbreaks, and they are becoming increasingly eye -catching.In 2020, more than 80%of the German train arrived on time.It fell to 75%in 2021. By January of this year, the data released by German Railway. In 2023, the average accuracy of the German Railway City train was only 64%.70%of the target is even worse than the Italian railway in Europe.
The German Railway spokesman Anya Brock admitted in a program of German TV: "We do not reach the level we have, our trains are not running well during the European Championship. Germany's infrastructure is old and old., It has been disrepairing for a long time, and it is not reliable, which is also a challenge for us.Signal box, Dao fork peaceful intercourse port.
As a traditional car country, the Germans love to drive, and traditionally believes that the train is the transportation of the poor.In German, the highway is Autobahn, translated into Chinese is an automated railway, which is unlimited and can drive freely.This mentality affects the German government's attitude towards infrastructure.Since Germany is a "nation in the car", the government also follows public opinion, puts its main investment on the road, and the railway is put in the secondary position.
The impression of the railway has been reversed by the German Railway Reform by 2006. Since then, the German Railway is still funded by the government.In the case of Germany's capacity, the employees cut from 355,000 people to less than half of them. At the same time, the lack of profit -making routes also closed a large number of stations and sold infrastructure and real estate.Therefore, the fate of German Railway's long -term lack of manpower and lack of infrastructure began in 2006.Since then, Germany's performance has continued to decline.
Until in recent years, the society has finally been tolerated, and the government has finally made up their minds to invest in railways and renovate large -scale renovation of Germany. In the next six years, the railway is fully refurbished.It started on the first day after the finals of the European Championships.The first is to refurbish the trunk line from the European Transportation Hub Frankfurt to the south of Germany, and then it will also update more than 2,000 routes and renovate more than 1,000 stations.I hope that after the renovation is over, Detaili can regain the golden years of "Germany is the clock" in the 1960s.
