Not sure what socialism has to do with getting multiple ticket systems to speak to each other. I sometimes worry HN is astroturfed but I tend to read comments like this more simply as trolling.

All those socialist... Companies? With their socialist coding?
Maybe they also use Marx# (M#) with a socialist software architecture.

Yeh this has more to do with the failures of federation and has nothing to do with socialism.
Federation is a huge part of why Germany struggles to deliver on it's digitalization goals.
Having every podunk authority handling ticket issuance basically guarantees signing keys will eventually be stolen/misused. The lack of a robust revocation mechanism is the nail in the coffin though.

Kind of proof that privatizing public infrastructure does not work without very tight regulations.
The profits and benefits in infrastructure go towards a state and are long term. A private company cannot increase their stock price on a 100 year goal and a countries GDP growth.

Yep. "Socialist lure" is a very US american perspective and far off the real past of most EU nations. The same budget hawks that drive tax cuts and are hollowing out public institutions were directing the privatization of the Deutschebahn. Thats why its not a single company but over 250 of them, for all the naturally competing segments of that gigantic infrastructure. You know, for maximum free-market efficiency, but somehow, blame is still not privatized.
Id like to know the US position on why socialism is failing their infrastructure, like power grinds.

Huh? I mean if anything the problem here was privatisation of local transport (and too much faith in said privatised transport by the national authorities), which doesn’t seem _particularly_ socialist.
