    orly? can you hop on a train in Germany and go to Romania? don’t think so.

    That’s the problem that needs solving: infrastructure. Then you come with the tickets.

    All this is just money laundering.

      What a weirdly specific hill to die on. There’s direct trains from Bucharest to - off the top of my head - Czechia, Poland, Turkey, Austria, Bulgaria, Ukraine… but none to Germany, so just burn the whole fucking thing down.

      Of course you can. On bahn.de it showed me a connection (from Bonn to Bucuresti tomorrow) which would take 33 hours, and booking is not possible. On oebb.at it would take 28 hours, and I could book two tickets for the complete journey. I tried another day, and there oebb.at could only sell me a ticket for a part of the journey, so I would need to get back to bahn.de an book the other part there.
