Entitled driver employee
I bet we all know that DB and especially Rheinbahn are shitty already. And, our review means almost nothing as they are in monopoly position. However, what's happened just now is ridiculous. Normally, Ubahn from Rheinbahn is late on a 4 or 5-out-of-10 basis. My plan was to take the Ubahn at 17:25 at Mühlenkamp, Duisburg Süd. On the way to the station, I checked my watch and it was 17:23. From afar, the train had arrived and I ran my best to catch it. Lucky me, the driver waited for a few seconds to that I could hop on the train. The thing is, he gave a sign by pointing at his watch while looking at me. That was extremely funny. I took a sit and checked the time again and guess what, it was 17:24. He did not follow the standard schedule either. He is supposed to be on time or at least wait for the guests according to the plan. This is how they work. When they are late, they act like normal, sit in the driving chamber without any apology. When they are 1 or 2 minutes earlier regarding the fact that passengers might be affected, that's on us.
Details of the trip: 17:25 from Mühlenkamp to Duisburg to Düsseldorf Hbf. I could see the number 4239 B on the driving chamber.
Stiff face when arrive late, entitled face when arrive early.
