According to Deutsche Bahn, a record number of people have traveled by long-distance transport in recent months. The company is now hiring 1,000 new employees.
They should not only support the service staff on board or the workers in the on-board bistro, but also rush to help on platforms and in trains if something doesn’t work. Deutsche Bahn issued a press release explaining that 1000 new employees are to be hired. The main reason for this is the current punctuality of Deutsche Bahn, which also means that transfer times are to be extended.
