I noticed this afternoon on N-TV (commercial German news) a business item....involving the Bahn folks (the German national railway).
The affect of Covid-19 on Bahn profits (Jan-Jun)?
What they say is that they are missing around 3.7-billion Euro.
The rest of the year? No real discussion.
I have a 50-percent off Bahn card, which I used a good bit for regional trips in 2019. This year? Almost nothing, and I don't really expect any trips for the next six months because of the virus. I think a lot of normal long-distance travelers are the same way. It's one thing to ride for an hour for your office situation, but you can't go and plan some 7-hour ride and feel great about the massive amount of virus potential.
The government likely covering a 10-billion loss for them at the beginning of 2021? I would bet on it.
