German Trains to Cut Bonuses

Germany's new transportation minister, Steffen Bilger, has decided to motivate Deutsche Bahn’s management in the most straightforward way possible—with money. If the railway operators fail to meet the targets set by the government, top managers will have their bonuses cut. Currently, only about 60% of long-distance trains arrive on time, and the goal is to raise that figure to at least 70% by 2029.

At the same time, Bilger questioned the effectiveness of the current track repair program, which involves months-long closures, and promised to review the approach. The government is allocating 170 billion euros to transportation infrastructure, but the minister himself has already warned that Germans should not expect 100% punctuality anyway.
