Meanwhile, Greta added that she was not complaining, rather showing how overcrowded trains are as more people travel by the mode than planes. She wrote, "Our train from Basel was taken out of traffic. So we sat on the floor on 2 different trains. After Göttingen I got a seat.This is no problem of course and I never said it was. Overcrowded trains is a great sign because it means the demand for train travel is high!"
