Please name /any/ foreign investment of DB, which shows a decent ROI.

I have no idea, but this is irrelevant, concerning where the money comes
from.


BTW: You could be also interested in lower fares, more comfort, more ...


Sure, but "more trains" is what we really got, paid by the saved
subsidies, so that's realistic.

We didn't get lower fares or more comfort.


Wochenendticket and Ländertickets meanwhile exist for quite a while and
