@jon I don’t think you need to convince the police officers that this is all performative bullshit.
@partim but they all too often are hostile if you ask them questions (as I always do). This guy was fair and honest!

And the Dresden S-Bahn (that isn’t really a S-Bahn) has 1st Class
Which no one uses
Except me with a 1st Class Interrail

@jon In S-Bahnen gibts keine 1. Klasse. De facto kann man sich auch mit DeutschlandTicket einfach hinchillen.

Im Rhein-Neckar-Bereich gibt es 1. Klasse. Sogar mit Tür abgeteilt.
Nutze den 3x im Jahr, wenn ich mit ner 1. Klasse Fernverkehrskarte nach Hause komme. Manchmal habe ich dann ein Faltrad dabei, da ist das ganz praktisch, weil viel Platz.

@jon Had similar experiences with the pointless "1st class" in Stuttgart S-Bahn trains (a compartment behind the cab at one end -- no different from the rest of the train except for seat moquette). The only times I used it was with a first class long-distance ticket with "+City" option, or with the included 1st-class local network pass when staying at the InterCityHotel (when that was still a thing). Never paid for it expressly, and have never seen anyone else on these seats in several years.

@MarkusTippner Ist das so? Wozu dann z.B. in Frankfurt ein 1. Klasse-Abteil? @jon

The info centre for the new line is in a building called Pechhütte
That can translate as bad luck hut
Surely no omen in there
