Agh

This is somehow right and wrong simultaneously. Sure, some routes we need are missing. *But* for example I’d prefer a Frankfurt-Paris every hour than a Paris-Berlin once a day…
It’s sort of like this
Where do I want to go?
Is the trip time reasonable?
Is there an option when I want to go?
Is there a direct train I can take?
I’m aware that *for some types of travellers* direct connections matter more than others. But it’s just one of many important factors.
@jon I'd stick cost in there at position 3.5, and then alternative service frequency (in case of disruption) at 3.8.
@gravitystorm Yes. But this was only about routing.
