Neoliberal policies: austerity fetish, privatization of public infrastructure and the expectation that rail has to be ‘profitable’ led to massive under-investment.
Same for Sweden. Most right-voters of course still belive the government runs it and become upset with me when I explain that they are complaining about a Chinese corporation and that they voted for this.
The real joke is that they converted DB into a publicly traded company but never sold the stocks so the German state still hold 100% of the stocks and more than half of the board are politicians.
Hm, I tried looking this up on Wikipedia. It seems the tracks are state-owned as are many of the regional operators. I guess I am missing something again.
