If your Deutsche Bahn long distance (IC or ICE) train is late for more than 60 minutes you do actually get a voucher giving you a discount good for a future trip. However, as trains usually run every hour you are very often delayed exactly 60 minutes - no discount voucher for you because you only get that if not only the the first but also second train is late too.

If you missed your connecting train because of a delay you don't get a delay certificate unless the train following your connecting train is delayed too.

Note that German trains are not considered to be late if the delay is less than five minutes - unlike Japanese trains or Swiss trains. The latter are already considered to be late if they are only two minutes late. --Soylentyellow (talk) 18:58, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deutsche Bahn[edit]

The Deutsche Bahn is *always* late! Whoever assumes something else did not use the Deutsche Bahn. -- Mfnalex (talk) 13:36, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first sentence[edit]

Is there a reason that the Japanese term is in parentheses while the German term is bolded? Clarinetguy097 (talk) 02:26, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
