Braid in trains 
- solidarity with 
TIL : An 
Liberté fare (45 % off the entire journey) from Karlsruhe to Paris is EUR 133. A 
Passzuschlag 3 (Interrail valid in Germany and full fare in France) is EUR 95.
Flexpreis / Standard Première is EUR 242.
Joking ? Like, literally 
!?!?!
These railway schedules are a joke. I'm traveling a bird's eye distance of 145 km today. They journey takes 4 h 45 min by public transport. That's a bad joke.

Also how the fuck can 
fail at selling a ticket from Metz to Bettembourg in TER, second class ????
Regular fare is EUR 9.50, if I search for a ticket with Carte fluo jeune and Carte Liberté/Avantage the idiots insist on selling me an Avantage fare with 25 % discount rather than carte fluo fare with 50 % discount because it's an international train. Joking ? Transport is free of charge on the section abroad, and I'm entitled to fluo 50 % up to border points anyway. I can't believe how much SNCF fails at selling their own tickets.
In any case - DB can sell me the tickets correctly at the vending machines - even in first class. And I'll check if they can sell me the fare up to Bettembourg frontière with 50 % discount and without CFL share in the Reisezentrum later.
Idiots. This railway is just completely dysfunct.
Oida, 
International (via 
B-Europe obviously) offers the discount type "100% discount Luxembourg (CFL)". Great. That's what I'd actually need for international TGVs to and from Luxembourg, along with SNCF Carte Liberté. Sounds good. Both selectable, both applied.
Guess who fails at calculating the right fares ? Yeah, for sure 100 % discount is *not* applied to the price in first class. Oida, why do you even offer this ?
And why for hell is Deutsche Bahn as always better at selling foreign tickets than the involved railways on their own.
* walks to Reisezentrum ...
Idiots. Idiots. Cross border ticketing is something they simply don't care about.
I'm *that* tempted to take a #CrossBorderFail journey by 
& busses from Alsace via Germany to Luxembourg ...
& busses from Alsace via Germany to Luxembourg ...Wow, the 
🤝🏽 
cooperation is as great ... they can't even sell you tickets across this border ...
Online, they say tickets not available and in the bus ... they just sell you a ticket from the first German stop to your destination rather than from your station of departure.
I fear someone wants to avoid the complexity of actually selling a ticket with correct taxes applied abroad.
Especially sad : This bus runs on the historic Rhine Railway between 🇫🇷 Haguenau and 🇩🇪 Rastatt but apart from the railway tracks on the Rhine bridge it was mostly dismantled between 🇫🇷 Beinheim and 🇩🇪 Wintersdorf.
Additionally this bus timetable is a chaotic joke. Arrrrggghhhhh.
Not even speaking of that I use this bus via Germany because the Bienwaldbahn operates that infrequently on the French side that it's actually faster.

Good : 
Elron finally submits their schedule data of domestic trains to european schedule data available in DB Navigator or Rail Planner.
Bad : They're not submitting arrival times but only departure times so that all the perfectly aligned transfers in Estonia won't be shown.
Seriously, Elron has perfect digital schedule and real-time data ... Why this fail ?
Edit : Already their own GTFS feed is broken, so it's not a HAFAS problem.
The 
vending machine is not able to sell tickets over the border from Frankfurt(Oder) to Rzepin. There is no other vending machine nor a ticket counter. So a national 
online ticket from Rzepin to Warszara it is and we will ask the conductor so sell us the international part onboard.
On my way to #Luxembraid 🥖 !
It's gonna be the first time I actually change in Lothringen Süd / Lorraine TGV / #FR:LGV 😵💫.
