Deutsche Bahn's punctuality in 2024 plummeted to its lowest in over two decades, leading to substantial compensation payouts of €197 million for delayed travellers. The company reported a staggering 6.9 million compensation applications, a sharp increase from 5.6 million the previous year. More than one-third of long-distance trains experienced delays, with only 62.5% arriving on time. The railway operator attributes worsening delays to infrastructure issues and aims to improve punctuality to 75-80% by 2027 by renovating 41 critical corridors.
