Reliable? Compared to the rest of developed Europe, no. But usable? Compared to 99% of North America, VERY. Most of the US doesn’t even have access to public transport, only in bigger cities will you expect to find it. And when you do find it it’s basically unusable and probably will arrive an hour later than scheduled most of the time, except around the northeastearn US and massive cities like Chicago.
Germany has some pretty terrible public transport, but next to American public transport it’s comparatively extremely good (which is kind of funny but also sad)
There’s a lot of complaining about European trains in X nation not being as good as the rest of Europe… In reality, it’s just France have great trains when they’re not striking and every other European nation believes that’s the standard for the whole west of Europe except with less striking when it’s just not
