True.. learned this the hard way when I was new in the UK. There were young people already sitting on ours.. my friend and I were too timid to ask them to move so we sat on empty ones. After a few stops, a family came and were verbally berating us for sitting on their seats. Only then did we ask for our seats back. But tbh.. if it was only a few minutes away we would have stood up rest of the journey.

The thing with that is, you have to claim your seat within 15 Minutes after the trains departure. So Imagine you sit somewhere else because your reserved seat is already taken, but after a few stations someone asks you to move because they have reserved the seat you’re in now. Then theoretically you can’t go back and claim your actual seat, if more than 15 minutes have passed. And worst case is you might end up having to stand even though you reserved a seat and paid extra for it.

@@Lua-um4gz you can tell at which station a person entered the train by their ticket. So if it’s been more than 15 minutes after the departure from the station, the seat is gone. Also there are little signs either on the seats or above them where you can see, if a seat is reserved and for which part of the journey, let’s say from Hannover to Munich. So if you get in the train before Hannover, you can sit there until the arrival at the station. The sign then goes off 15 minutes after departure from Hannover, which means it’s free for everyone now. I hope that’s clear 😅

@Xuěhuā Often the reservation expires if you don't claim your seat within X minutes. So technically you have no right to it anymore and they can stay there. I think most people are nice enough to move but I wouldn't count on it (there's enough who argue with you even if you try to claim your seat right away after all). However I don't think they will feel stupid, they have no reason to. It's your fault for not saying anything in the first place and in many trains reservations aren't properly labeled so they couldn't have known. I often see reserved seats and nobody turning up so I will also occasionally sit in clearly reserved seats if it's packed and then just get up when someone comes. If they don't say anything it's on them, communication is key 🤷🏻♀️

One time, I got on the train and someone was in my seat. With a dog who was very willing to eat my cat. They told me someone else had taken their seat and the entire car was full so there wasn't ano other seat I could just...make work. This ended in me having a breakdown, in tears, begging people to get to their seats, which they didn't, so I had to get a conductor to sort out the mess. Turned out there were four people in the car who hadn't even bought tickets. The following 10 hour journey was awkward but at least my cat got his window seat.

That, and you need to claim your seat within 15 minutes after departure. They're not usually strict about it, but if the train gets busy the person sitting on your seat might refuse to move and you can't do anything about it except give dirty stares.
@cymbala6208 Жыл бұрын
The problem is that you can "lose your right" to sit on your booked place, when you don't claim it within a certain time. And if the train fills up with people and someone claims the seat you are sitting on afterwards, you might not have a seat at all...

If I went up to them I would've just been sitting between them, and I also didn't want to make anyone else get up during the movie and block the screen so I just looked for an empty seat somewhere else and sat there. Whenever this happened to me and I did tell someone about it they always told me I didn't own the seat, that I wasn't entitled to it, or that I should just stop making trouble and sit somewhere else. The fact that that whole exchange went smoothly is incredible to me.

The thing with that is, you have to claim your seat within 15 Minutes after the trains departure. So Imagine you sit somewhere else because your reserved seat is already taken, but after a few stations someone asks you to move because they have reserved the seat you’re in now. Then theoretically you can’t go back and claim your actual seat, if more than 15 minutes have passed. And worst case is you might end up having to stand even though you reserved a seat and paid extra for it.

@@Lua-um4gz you can tell at which station a person entered the train by their ticket. So if it’s been more than 15 minutes after the departure from the station, the seat is gone. Also there are little signs either on the seats or above them where you can see, if a seat is reserved and for which part of the journey, let’s say from Hannover to Munich. So if you get in the train before Hannover, you can sit there until the arrival at the station. The sign then goes off 15 minutes after departure from Hannover, which means it’s free for everyone now. I hope that’s clear 😅

However I don't think they will feel stupid, they have no reason to. It's your fault for not saying anything in the first place and in many trains reservations aren't properly labeled so they couldn't have known. I often see reserved seats and nobody turning up so I will also occasionally sit in clearly reserved seats if it's packed and then just get up when someone comes.

Of course phrasing it as such isn't the best for publicity, and transit is almost always statistically safer than driving. And there are many reasons that are way less dramatic for staff to try and find you, such as if you dropped your wallet and they are trying to return it.

Trust me, you don’t wanna get into that mess! Because of social anxiety and being too agreeable, I let it be that someone was sitting in my assigned seat, because the train was half empty. But lo and behold, it quickly filled up and I had to move like 3 times because now _I_ was sitting in someone else’s seat. I felt so embarrassed, like I was doing something wrong, when I had just tried to do someone a favor. But it created a chain reaction that caused lot more unnecessary anxiety and trouble for everyone than me just facing one awkward interaction

The problem here is that if you sit somewhere else, then someone else might come along at a later stop and ask for that seat because THEY booked that seat. And then you could ask the person who is sitting in your seat to change seats, but by then the train might be full and that person won't find a free seat anymore. Making them aware of the problem now, when they can still find another seat, is actually the politest option from a German point of view

Sometimes the train company screws you over. You book a seat, but the whole train section you booked in is not part of the train that comes, because of less customers that booked seat. So you will need to take random seat and move if someone asks to sit on that exact seat. It's ok to move though, usually there's some space in train elsewhere.

I used to travel with my cat by train. I always booked our seats WELL in advance knowing we'd need the furthest back seat cause it has a little more room to fit his carrier bag. One time, I got on the train and someone was in my seat. With a dog who was very willing to eat my cat. They told me someone else had taken their seat and the entire car was full so there wasn't ano other seat I could just...make work. This ended in me having a breakdown, in tears, begging people to get to their seats, which they didn't, so I had to get a conductor to sort out the mess. Turned out there were four people in the car who hadn't even bought tickets. The following 10 hour journey was awkward but at least my cat got his window seat.

1) In Germany, you can reserve a seat for some additional ticket cost. So you pay extra for it. It is a fixed price, independent of the duration of your travel (about 4 euros one-way). 2) Most trains tell you if a seat is reserved, either a note or led display. 3) Some trains might be empty first, and get crowded once passing a bigger city.

@@tarastreasure because it is the Company's policy in Germany, that's how easy it is. And it somehow makes sense. If you miss your train or your plans get cancelled, then it's not possible in Germany to tell the company that you're not coming. This way you can be sure as a customer who hasn't reserved a seat that you can actually stay where you are and you don't have to expect a person suddenly coming up to you and telling you to leave their seat. This policy is just very respectful to other customers, cause they don't need to worry that they'll have to switch places every time the train stops. And if you pay for a seat and don't show up, you cannot expect the company to reserve that seat until you feel like entering the train. But yeah, it has its pros and cons

The lyrics is sooo accurate
“That’s our place “ Woah
You actually have to do this. By sitting somewhere else you technically rescind your reservation and you could get into trouble if you try to take the seat later when you accidentally took someone else's resertion and the person on your seat complains because you didn't take the seat earlier
This happened to me when I was in Germany. My first instinct was to sit in an empty seat nearby, but I had been warned not to buy a local. I'm grateful that I asked the person to move. They got off at the next stop, in which the train completely flooded with passengers but it was standing room only all for hours. Seeing as I was riding the train all the way to Amsterdam, it probably would have been slightly more difficult for me to explain that I had reserved the seat if I was not in my seat originally.

If I went up to them I would've just been sitting between them, and I also didn't want to make anyone else get up during the movie and block the screen so I just looked for an empty seat somewhere else and sat there. Whenever this happened to me and I did tell someone about it they always told me I didn't own the seat, that I wasn't entitled to it, or that I should just stop making trouble and sit somewhere else. The fact that that whole exchange went smoothly is incredible to me.
This happened alot when I worked in the theater. It was the ushers responsibility to make sure the patron was in the correct seat. There was nothing so terrible and embarrassing as trying to get patrons in their correct seat after a show started and a domino affect would occur. Very unforgiving and angry patrons all around.😮

I recently learned that on the ICE, your reservation is only valid for 15 minutes after the train has left the station. If you have not sat down on your reserved seat by then and later the carriage fills up and you would like to reclaim your reserved seat that someone accidentally sat on (maybe because you switched to sit on someone else’s reserved seat) you can technically no longer do so. And yes, I‘m German.
I'm french, and once in germany I couldn't find my seat at all and nervously sat somewhere else. It was a 3h drive and I did not dare fall asleep for even a minute. 2h in, someone asked me to move and I didn't dare sit for the last hour xD
😂😂😂 that train background in the beginning is Sydney trains in Australia
So the way this works is that in many European trains there can be busy stops snd non busy stops. If you booked a seat you take the seat, even when someone is in it. This is so that you can stay seated when you pass a busy stop and the train is suddenly full.
Es geht um's Prinzip! :D Also, the reason I am doing that exactly the same always, is that, if I sit somewhere else instead, the person who reserved THAT seat might come up and ask me to leave. 🤔
This is pretty common. Also you wouldn't wanna go sit somewhere else and then someone last minute reserves those seats forcing you to move again. And never switch places with another reserved person unless they go to the same destination l cus then there's a whole lot more headache to make them move later and carry all your stuff through the train when their destination is reached and the next reserved person wants their seat from u.

From my point of view, it would make me feel more comfortable, since I would literally die if then I sit randomly and another person comes up saying I've taken their place
If you dont claim your Seat in 15 minutes, your reservation is invalidated. If the Train gets crowded and you then sit on a reserved seat, then its your bad luck

Since when? In ICE, my reservation from start to end is clearly displayed until I reach my destination. Be it the seats or the family compartment

@@lilalaune4202 has been this way forever - even if it does show your reservation the whole time (rode a lot of ICEs recently, mine didn’t), you still loose the right to make other ppl stand up from that seat 15min after your stop. I’ve never had that kind of bad luck, but I’m german and make ppl change seats so I can claim my seat when I board.

It's not about order, but about the principle behind it!
I'm not from German, but I did this too. The other seats may look empty for now, but nobody knows what will happen in the next stops. So it's better to sit on the seats that we paid for, rather than move seats after a few stops
I once sat NEXT to a person who agreed to give up their seat to someone who didn't have a reservation and just sat there. I felt anxiety FOR the person seating next to me. That's next level German.
