I guess it heavily depends on where you live. The majority of trans I took were packed, up to the point I sometimes couldn’t even enter the train and had to wait for the next one (this of course being local trains, not the long range ones).
It is also very difficult to reach your destination if it isn’t on one line. And even if it is, it’s sometimes problematic.
I also do believe that the long range trains tend to be empty due to their price. A lot of people dont use them for relations that could be reached with regional trains, simply due to cost. Even when travelling with (overly full) regional trains takes 3-4 times longer and requires 2-3 train changes.
If you are two people traveling from south to central germany you have to give two kidneys and your firstborn child for the return trip.
I guess I was speaking of my raven my experience going from Hamburg to Karlsruhe to Frankfurt. 3 cancelled trains, 1 severely delayed, 1 delayed by >20 minutes.
