Despite federal investments in rail, the railway company lacks money. The upgrading of the railway is delayed.

According to critics, Deutsche Bahn has developed a life of its own that is difficult to control.. By 2030, around 60 billion euros less could be available for infrastructure than the railway's planning had originally assumed.
