Wow, the german train operator (Deutsche Bahn) became even more greedy:

For our english folks, basically they made every ticket 3,9% more expensive (which is way over the inflation) and every online place reservation 75% more expensive. But the real fuck up is that they charged a student for sitting on the stairway to the first class 40€ because the stairway (which is really uncomfortable) belongs to the first class and he had no valid ticket for the first class. WTF?!
