… Deutsche Bahn.

I am traveling from Eschborn in Germany to Hof in Bavaria Germany.

At the ticket automat in Eschborn, I cannot identify the right “Hof” entry for my journey and I decide to buy the ticket at my first transfer at train station Frankfurt Süd. In the train to Frankfurt Süd, I try to buy the ticket on my Smartphone, however the payment options are absolutely unacceptable : for 2 payment options I have to enter my online banking access and for the third payment option I have to enter my identify card. Why would I volunteer data that expose me to the risk of personality theft or banking theft? How stupid do the designer of such payment options think customers are?

At Frankfurt Süd I buy a ticket for Hof, it’s a regional train ticket automat. A DB automat is not available.

I buy a ticket to Hof, I am sure it is not the right city.

Anyhow, while Mark Zukerberg is virtually noticeable, I will ride to Hof in Bavaria on a false ticket.

I am curious what will happen.

Anyhow, this deserves already the ” Computer Detectives Intercouse-Stupid Certificate”.

Herr Seib, der Schaffner, ist so freundlich, mir während der Fahrt die richtige Fahrkarte zu verkaufen. Das ist super. Problem gelöst. So soll es sein. 🤗
