I am a regular customer of Deutsche Bahn and therefore decided to travel with them from Munich to Darmstadt this time as well. The first thing to mention is the friendliness of the staff. They checked the tickets in a nice way. They greeted their customers and addressed them politely. The price of the ticket also excited me, because in my opinion the price was cheap compared to other providers. I'm train was very calm and pleasantly quiet. Unfortunately, there were some transfer necessities that made the journey difficult. Also, the train did not arrive in Darmstadt on time. The train was delayed by about thirty minutes. In addition, I noticed that the seats on the train were not well maintained. This is because I could see old chocolate stains or food residue. All in all, a satisfactory journey.
