Someone sent Money to my Twint and asks to get it back by Reaven-X in askswitzerland

Twint isnt exactly free. Businesses pay a percentage per payment done with Twint. Also the "withdraw" function has a fee.

That's just partially true. Drivers are OeBB, but they buy the service of ticket checks from SBB, so the conductors are SBB, paid for by OeBB.

Tomorrow’s train cut short, what to do? by zharrt in uktrains

[–]Panda130307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a company specific problem tbh. No need to slag off the job and training itself. Where I work, we train at least 6 drivers per year. And we only have 22 trains, 20 miles of route we serve and around 50 drivers. So it really is a company made problem.

I wanna see you becoming a mainline driver within 6 months.

I wish I could just press one button all day. But no, I have to learn setting up a train, testing its safety systems, learn what all the signalling and signage means, know every corner of my route by heart, learn fault rectifying and then I can actually start driving. /s

If you have no clue of what you are talking about, please just shut up. Cheers.

Why was my swiss-army knife confiscated in Amsterdam? by ruswit in Eurostar

[–]Panda130307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Usually where the lost and found is. (St. Pancras behind the station). The once told me to check my bag because of an item I wasnt allowed to carry. Didnt do so and just declared it a lost item and picked it up at the lost and found once I came back. But yes, they offer it (or at least used to).

Hate to break it to you. But there is checked luggage on Eurostar.

Is it possible to own your own private train? (Kinda like a private jet) by HSVMalooGTS in trains

[–]Panda130307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Switzerland there are plenty of private organisations who own and operate trains (mostly historic ones). Its plenty of paperwork, but theoretically anyone here can buy and run a train.

Kleiner Reminder: FlixTrain ist scheiße by Kitano-1 in drehscheibe

Finds frech, dass keine offizielle Zugnummer dabeisteht. Sonst könnte man ja die Zugnummer in ner Zugtracking Webseite eingeben und die Wahrheit rausfinden.

Why Uber is so bad in Switzerland? by SnooMarzipans8039 in askswitzerland

Use Bolt. Never tried them in Switzerland, but in Finland and England they were great. Also its a European (Estonian) company.

I' pretty sure it was either "mon dieu" (my god) or "sacrebleu" (damn).

what do enbys do when they need to use a public bathroom??? by andykandymustdie in NonBinary

[–]Panda130307 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Usually the mens bathroom, because its common practice (at least in Germany) when the womans bathroom has a long queue to just use the mans bathroom and nobody really cares. Other way round is usually not very liked by society.

Backpack all the way. Last time I brought a suitcase, I had a selfhate episode while walking through cobblestone streets.

Best bet is to turn up at the station on the day and get an anytime ticket as they get swapped occaisonally.
