Don't have, or need an auto there, the metro transportations system in and around Hamburg is superb.It sounds like heaven to me. The railroad I work for in New Jersey has delays and cancellations every day. When people buy tickets from me to use in the future, I try to impress on them the need to allow extra time in case their train has bad luck.

Ridden most of the DB rail system, on ICE, CityNightLine, DB, EC and RB trains all over all parts of Germany. S bahns, U bahns and trams in the cities. Never ONCE had a connection delay. Including LD trips.
