Reliable enough for what? I wouldn’t use it to transport organs, but if you use it to commute to work in/around even small cities, you won’t get fired for being late all the time. I know DB isn’t perfect, but I’m very glad for it on a regular basis.
I also moved here from the US, where my 45 km commute between neighboring cities on the most traveled corridor in the country took two and a half hours by public transport, so you know, lowered expectations…
Reliable enough to commute to and from your job. In my experience DB ist really bad at that, especially if you’re taking the IC or ICE. intracity public transport usually isn’t run by DB, except for the S-Bahns, which work reliably-ish, most of the time. Credit where credit’s due
Edit: Sorry, I’m a bit cynical when it comes to the current DB
