No longer? They were bitching and moaning when I visited fifteen years ago in my hostel. They got horrified when I told them they're coddled to be annoyed about 15 minute delays and spoke on how things are in the states... anyways this is troubling I guess... but it's not new.

Edit: also, I found the English UI to be the best in the EU (yes, better than UK's) and traveled the continent on DB, so while I sympathize with wanting things better... as an American it was a pretty good system.

Why is this always the American answer when anything good about EU gets brought up that maybe turned worse?

Vacation, workdays, sickdays, parental leave, free schooling and healthcare? and public transport as here.

It is a question of money, investment and what society you want. You chose the Ford F-150.

For me in Sweden, we also have worse rail now, also due to the same issue. Maintenance is never "sexy" weather its fibre or rail. Parking, roads and cars nets points here too sadly.

American here, very tired of the response you note. It's self defeating and depressing. Feels like any expectations for a good experience, for things to work, to be treated like a person, is mocked as childish naivete.
