    Well you can always avoid sitting on the floor by paying the 5€ for seat reservations for the entire journey during the time of booking. And if it tells you there that no more seats are available you can make an informed decision on how badly you want to be on this service and if you want to pay the first class fare.

    Long-distance train journeys are unfortunately not subsidized by our moronic government so the state operator needs to earn back the money to operate the train or there will be no long distance train anymore in the future.

    And our traffic minister just hiked track charges for them by 30%

      So you just see absolutely no issue with those seats being kept empty while people don’t have anywhere to sleep. Cool, not a sign of a broken system at all.
