Deutsche Bahn wants to bring home comfort to the train car

Transport operators are always looking for ways to increase passenger levels. And creating comfortable carriages that offer a great user experience is the way forward. German this week long-distance railway operator Deutsche-Bahn launched images of new interior design, part of their goal to modernize and improve the passenger experience.

There is a lot of wood, warm, natural colors and modern fabrics to help you pretend you are not sitting near other people. It looks pretty cool and I feel like a big old train maniac dealing with some pretty sick traits. Let’s check it out:

It is not Deutsche-Bahn’s first designer rodeo

However, this train is nice and let’s face it, it’s quite conventional. This is not Deutsche-Bahn’s first attempt to transform the interior of the train and with it the passenger experience. In 2017, the company created The ideaa prototype train that combines work, home and train travel.

Honestly, I liked it a bit more, especially the neon for a night disco:

Interestingly, the interior included sports booths with digital fitness equipment, family play equipment, kitchens, bistro benches and tables, game consoles, TVs for watching sports and more. OK.

I guess‘s all about balancing the budget, not to mention the goal of carrying the maximum number of people. After all, an exercise cart means much less space for paid seats. We also know that Deutsche-Bahn and other railway operators around the world have suffered a huge drop in customer payments during the pandemic, so there is much less room for redundancy.

The first train with the new interior will be available for travel in December. It’s not as sexy as it could be, but I’m looking forward to trying it.
