Bonn: Last place in the train station ranking-punctuality to despair!

In the current satisfaction ranking of the train stations in Germany, a train station in Rhineland-Palatinate cuts particularly badly. According to the analysis of Merkur This ranking is based on over 800 online reviews of train stations and holding points throughout the country. This study shows that Leipzig is at the top with its well -rated train stations, while the average rating for train stations in Germany is 3.79 out of 5 stars, which is a slight improvement compared to the previous year.

The Bonn main station, which takes the last place in the ranking, reaches special attention. The “Omio” travel platform has evaluated the train stations on the basis of criteria such as punctuality, comfort and availability of shops and gastronomic offers. Bonn received zero points and cannot convince with a shocking punctuality of only 41 % of the scheduled descents. In addition, the shops with only 5 shops and 3 gastro offers are extremely limited. These results illustrate the problems with which the travelers are faced with inadequate cleanliness and little space on the platforms, especially at peak times.

comparison of the train stations

In addition to the specific weaknesses of the Bonn station, the ranking of Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger is a broader perspective in the performance of German trains. While Leipzig takes first place and recorded a daily number of passengers of around 120,000, many train stations, including Bonn, are fighting with serious disadvantages. For example, Cologne main station only reaches fifth place despite its punctuality of 57 % and 43 shops.

The overview also shows that Cologne Messe/Deutz main station has 86 % the highest punctuality, but does not go beyond the 16th place in the overall rating. The overall rating of each station is strongly influenced by the factors mentioned, which illustrates the complexity of traveling in Germany.

punctuality in focus

The punctuality of the trains remains a central topic. While regional trains have 90.3 % punctuality, only every second ICE or IC departs on time. These differences are particularly blatant in North Rhine-Westphalia, where values ​​below 60 percent are often recorded. This is also evident using the example of the Paderborn main station, which with a punctuality rate of only 34 % below the 200 evaluated train stations.

Deutsche Bahn has announced that it wants to increase punctuality on long -distance trains to up to 80 % by the end of 2027. Nevertheless, difficulties with the old and overloaded infrastructure could remain a nuisance for passengers for a long time. So many travelers complain about construction sites and diversions that further disturb the course of travel.

Overall, the image of the train stations in Germany presents itself with a clear gap between the powerful and the less user -friendly facilities - a challenge that needs to be mastered in order to increase the satisfaction of travelers.
