Sand on the track?
Hey, I wanted to ask if anyone knows why there is sand under the seats in the Frankfurt subway?

Why is that there?
Hello, I'm currently looking for a bus/train connection for next Monday from Münster to Bückeburg. Now Google Maps says the train departs from Münster. But then it says Krefeld Hbf directly below. Why does it say Krefeld?
Can I also travel to Osnabrück with the Holiday Ticket NRW?
Hello, I live in Bielefeld and wanted to go to Osnabrück. But since the return trip costs about €28 with the tickets, I was thinking about using the NRW holiday ticket, which costs €30. Can I use that to go to Osnabrück?
Tight seats on public transport?
Do you like that? The train is packed, and there are only a few empty seats. I always feel cramped and uncomfortable.
Zurich zones, what do I need to buy for friends?

I'm having friends visit me for a day this summer, and we want to see Zurich. I'm in zone 130. What do I need to buy them for a day if we can travel "as cheaply as possible" in Zurich (city zone 110) and back again at 130? I don't understand the whole system. I've…
Caught on the bus in Italy without a ticket?

The inspector asked me for my personal information, and although I gave him my real name, I didn't give him the correct address. He didn't want to see any ID either. Unfortunately, I have to fly back to Germany. Will that cause any problems?
Any tips for traveling by ICE at night?
Good morning, I'm going to the ILA by train from FRA to BER at 3 a.m. Does anyone have any tips on what to look out for and how to pass the whole thing successfully?
For Emergency braking it is left off on the rails to increase friction ( shortened braking distance).
Mega correct thanks
The train needs to brake it. But that one can see from the passenger cabin is rather unusual. But such a vision is certainly practical.
It’s not that unusual. Especially in trams, as in this example. The sand is stored near the wheels makes sense. And these are not quite at the car ends, but a few meters inward, where the passenger cabin is already. And through the viewing window you can quickly see the fill level at night check and do not have to open any flaps.
Because the stuff is used for braking and also for starting when using rails. Then it runs on the rails, on the wheels there is a Rieseltülle / pipe.
It’s for the brake system.
The sand is scattered on the rail with strong braking to shorten the braking path
Thank you
Probably to brake.
that is the storage container for emergency braking.
since in rail vehicles metal rolls on metal, the friction/force transmission during regular braking is relatively low. this can be improved with the targeted scattering of sand in front of the wheels.
Not from Frankfurt, but from Cologne, but in principle the same:

So that these are not stolen
Better eating 😂
Frankfurt. Metro. White powder.
