About time, constant 67% punctuality and losing money because of investing in foreign country projects failures, instead of developing and maintaining your own infrastructure since years is definitely bad.
fired where?
Good. Not his fault, not sure which magician can solve this kafkaesque bureaucracy. But leadership was definitely a part of the problem.
Better late than never.
FINALLY
Let’s go. About darn time.
Sounds like he was bahn-ed from running the company.
He got fired on the day my ICE train was cancelled, shouldn’t have messed with me
Deutsche Banned
Shouldn’t the politicians that ran things through the ground be fired instead? I doubt that he’s entirely responsible for the mess the German rail is in.
He’s lucky Germany isn’t Japan.
Hope he has to take the train back home.
Count János of Batida, you will be the next to be fired! /s
Like everything else in the DB, this decision was too late
Now consider that he got 1,26 million as a bonus for his “good work” in 2022.
Welcome to real world corruption where you can do a shit job at managing a company snd still be rewarded.
Once again I am currently sitting in a train that has >1hour delay.
Deserved so. Fuck him, fuck everyone else in the company who’s made a decision in the past 30 years and also, especially, fuck everyone who had any say in traffic and infrastructure in politics in the last decades.
Fuck all of you and give me my time back
Favorite Deutsche Bahn joke:
Deutsche Bahn has five enemies: spring, summer, autumn, winter, and customers.
About time indeed, however the problem of German railways goes deeper than just incompetent CEOs for decades. Also the state is to blame. After all it was the state that wanted to turn the DB into a private share holder value oriented stock exchange traded company. And even when that failed it clinged onto the ideology of having the DB run like a private company even if it remained state owned to the largest extend. Of course that leads to share holder value thinking and consequently to running down good infrastructure into the ground to extract short term advantages at the cost of double the long term damage.
Now the tax payer is getting the bill of this failed ideology. A good railway system cannot be run without solid long term engagement and planning.
Good. DB is incredibly efficient at wasting money.
“Middle” management have 2 assistants each, higher ups have 3.
There is just NO WAY this level of bloat is needed. And management of a company that is regularly failing at meeting performance benchmarks shouldn’t be pulling 6-figure slaries.
Dicking around is easy when the taxpayers are paying for it.
Want to see real change? Cut management bonuses first – and take people that have been approving payouts of said Bonis to court. I would really like to know what justification was given for paying out MILLIONS to management in a company that has been consistently failing for decades.
Can we fire the NS one as well, and bring back railways under government control?
Making money on sustainable transportation is stupid, fund railroads with taxes on vehicles and planes, and have an excellent service.
Now the rest of the C-Section and import Japanese, Korean and Chinese train dudes and we good.
He did not want to raise his own earnings or what was the problem?
I wonder if there was truly issue with him, or if it was the last government who didn’t care about financing maintenance and repairs, and now he ended as a scapegoat.
Germany’s rail network is so poor that many goods are transferred onto trucks at the national border, only to be reloaded onto freight trains at the other end.
He was supposed to be fired 2 years ago, but as always with DB there were delays….
Showed up late to one too many meetings…
Dont let the door hold you up, asshole. Time to make it a state enterprise again.
I lived in Germany in 2016-17 and DB still had a decent reputation. I would have never imagined it would end up like an Eastern European railway.

Endlich ist der unfähige Lutz geschasst
Unsurprisingly late.

He got 2.84 million in severance pay btw
