Ok here we go

Praha - Berlin - København
ČD - DB - DSB event

They’re proud it’s one of the 2023 EU pilot projects

But I don’t know what the EU did to make this happen

I’ll tag the thread #CrossBorderRail from now on

The event is at the -1 bunker level at Berlin Hbf. Theoretically there’s 5G but it’s poor. Posting might be limited. #CrossBorderRail

Peel back the rhetoric and state railways are naked on Europe-wide ticketing - only EU law is going to fix this mess

For the past few years the state owned railways in Europe - represented in Brussels by Community of European Railways (CER) - have been working on their "Ticketing Roadmap" (yes, don't laugh, railway companies really have a roadmap). This roadmap is the railways' response to customer and political demands to better

Agh. So much cherry picking from Peterson here. #CrossBorderRail
Historic this connection is, says Tzitzikostas. Errr. #CrossBorderRail
The German government supports the passenger package, says Tzitzikostas. That’s news to Deutsche Bahn 🙂 #CrossBorderRail
Now some regional politician who’ll be out in September #CrossBorderRail
Damn this event is total tedium. Can we just have events where we skip the bla bla on the podium? #CrossBorderRail
Ute Bonde struggles to even read a speech #CrossBorderRail
@jon I had to look up her name. Ofc I didnt know any other names either except the EU Commisoner. However I remembered that there was this very bicycle hating politician, turns out that was her predecessor (Schreiner). Schreiner resigned bc she had copied too much of her doctoral thesis. I am not sure what is more sad, that in the AI age German (conservative) politicians only resign for lying their way to a doctor title or that they think a doctor title is relevant
@vermeer @jon You guys are still at the stage where they resign? How nice.

@platlas @jon only for copied doctor titles. Having a mistress and children with her is fine (Seehofer). Having a history as a Gazprom friend is fine (Schwesig)

Wonder how many politicians write their speeches with ChatGPT. Maybe Ms. Bunde did that like digital minister - who used an LLM to generate his speech. That is apparently also fine
