Deutsche Bahn is also in the process of refurbishing both of its first high-speed (ICE) rail tracks. Germany’s governing black-red coalition has also made it their plan to strengthen rail service, especially in light of new carbon dioxide emission goals. Germany’s Green Party also called on improving train services earlier this week in an effort to replace domestic plane travel with rail travel. They also called on more trains in the morning and evening rush hours to make train travel more attractive to commuters as well. Germany-wide Friday for Future demos have also called for boosting train travel in a push to reduce carbon emissions.
