<![CDATA[I left Odense on a train at 9:47.]]>I left Odense on a train at 9:47. The trip for the $100 ticket I paid for should take an hour and ten minutes. These fucking idiots are so bad at running a train that it is now 11:19, I’m going to be late to relieve my babysitter at midnight.

I have switched trains twice. The first train barely left Odense before it was toast. Then I got on the second train that stranded me in Roskilde.

Next time someone asks “why do people own cars if trains in Europe are so great” feel free to quote me. These Danish trains are only usable if you don’t care when you get somewhere.

Oddly coinciding with broader digitalization. Funny how that worked out.
