German Minister Schnieder Back at Work, Vows to Improve Deutsche Bahn Punctuality

German Transport Minister Patrick Schneider has recovered from a health scare and is back at work. The minister, who collapsed due to a circulatory issue, is now determined to improve Deutsche Bank's punctuality and has set ambitious targets.

Schneider, who resumed his duties after recovering, described the current punctuality figures of Deutsche Bank as 'completely unacceptable'. He aims to significantly enhance the situation by 2026. The minister plans to achieve at least 70% punctuality in long-distance travel by 2029, with further improvements to 80% in the medium term and 90% in the long term.

To achieve these goals, Schneider intends to upgrade operational processes and infrastructure. By 2036, around 42 high-performance rail corridors will be comprehensively modernized and upgraded to the latest standards. Schneider's recovery was attributed to a combination of factors, including a cold and dehydration.

Patrick Schneider, the German Transport Minister, has made a full recovery and is now focused on improving Deutsche Bank's punctuality. He has set ambitious targets for the coming years and plans to upgrade infrastructure and operational processes to achieve them.
