@chuuchuu@toot.community not nearly as much as in France - ask
@jon@gruene.social. Yes the likelyhood that you miss a connection is higher, but even smaller branch lines try to run at least hourly. DB staff actually tries to help you if you miss a connection. In France you are mostly left alone. For some relations there are like 2-3 connections a day. I remember e.g. Altkirch-Lauterbourg (Alsace south to north) being a pain 15 years ago - I often had hours of layerover in Strassbourg.
